Homemade soups are the best, and sweet potatos are nice change to regular old potato soup
Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes (about 1 pound each)
8 cups water
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons half and half
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
dash thyme
1 cup cashews (split in half)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 minutes or until they are soft
Cool the potatoes until they can be handled. Peel away the skin, then put the potatoes into a large bowl. Mash the potatoes for 15−20 seconds, but you do not need to mash them until they are entirely smooth
Spoon the mashed sweet potato into a large saucepan over medium/high heat, add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine
When the soup begins to boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 50−60 minutes. Cashews should be soft
Serve piping hot
