Sweet Potato Soup

November , 2021

What is November known for?

It is Adopt a Turkey Month, National Diabetes Month, and National Novel Writing Month.  It is also National Peanut Butter Lovers Month and Author’s Day on November 1st.  I’m going to use this one, Sweet Potato Awareness Month.  I have a great recipe for Sweet Potato Soup.  Give it a try.

 Sweet Potato Soup

1 Tablespoon bacon fat

1 cup onions, chopped

2 ribs celery, chopped

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

5 cups chicken broth (or if you are vegan use vegetable broth)

Salt and pepper to taste

½ teaspoon nutmeg (I use a little more)

Sour cream for top


Saute onion, celery, and sweet potatoes in bacon fat for 5 minutes.

Add broth, cover and bring to a boil, simmer until tender.

Puree in blender and reheat.

Add salt and pepper, and nutmeg.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top

Serves 5-6
