What are some easy sweet potato soup recipes?

Some easy sweet potato soup recipes include the sweet potato soup recipe on FoodNetwork.com and the sweet potato and sausage soup recipe on Epicurious.com. The Food Network recipe yields a smooth soup, while the Epicurious recipe produces a chunky soup.

To make the Food network's sweet potato soup, combine 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of butter in a pot over medium-low heat to form a pale golden brown sauce. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of broth, and add 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar. Boil the mixture briefly, and then reduce the heat.

Incorporate 1 1/2 cups of cooked sweet potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/8 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Simmer the mixture for five minutes before blending the soup. Reheat the pureed soup in the pot with the addition of 1 cup of milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.

To make sweet potato and sausage soup, brown 10 ounces of sliced chorizo sausage with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot. Set the sausage aside. Sauté 2 chopped onions, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 pounds of chopped sweet potatoes and 1 pound of chopped potatoes. Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth, and then cover and simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes.

Use a potato masher to smash up some of the potatoes before adding the reserved sausage. Cook 9 ounces of fresh spinach in the soup before mixing in another tablespoon of olive oil and adding salt and pepper to taste.
