There is no better way to celebrate National Soup Month than with a bowl of this chunky, comforting Sweet Potato Soup.
There really is nothing like a bowl of soup on these cold days and nights.
I had some baked sweet potatoes that needed to be used so I thought, "why not make soup with them?" and soup it was.
The days may be cold but the spirit is bright with the warmth of knowing spring is just around the corner.
