Thickened with sweet potatoes and spiced up with jalapeños, this soup will warm your soul even on the chilliest of nights.
I do love sweet potatoes!! I enjoy them fixed up many different ways, but sweet potatoes cooked up in soup seem to be my passion at the moment.
It has been a long cold winter and according to the ground hog six more weeks of winter are on the way!! I will be eating a lot of soup to be cozy and warm...

Dear Catherine,
It is so funny, I was thinking of making a soup with sweet potatoes and carrots for my blog this week. As it is Carrot Cake Day on Tuesday and Sweet Potaoto month. You beat me to it. Oh, I do love sweet potaoes as well. I would rather eat them than a reg white potato. Yams are good too! We sure do need something to keep us warm and cozy..as the weather is not cooperating. Too much snow, and ice. So a delicious hot soup is perfect for anytime of the day. Love all of your ingredients as well as the pepper. I would make mine without the seeds, but it must really give it a pop, which keeps us warm. Thanks for sharing this lovley soup. I always enjoy your presentaion of your foods. The dishes you use are so lovely and add to the recipe of the day. Have a safe, warm and blessed week..
Dottie 🙂
