Sweet Potato Soup
Just made this soup for 15 teenagers the 10 that were brave enough to try the all vegetable soup absolutely loved it! Half of them came back for seconds and polished off the pot! Wasn't able to get a bowl for myself but managed to steal a spoonful before the vultures came - absolutely delicious.
