Cream of Sweet Potato Soup recipe

Famous potato soup like you have never tasted. This soup is simple but the cashews really add a great twist to the recipe.

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
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the sweet potatoes for
45 minutes or until they are soft. Cool the potatoes until
they can be handled.
2. Peel away the skin, then put the potatoes into a large bowl.
Mash the potatoes for 15-20 seconds, but you don’t need to mash
them until they are entirely smooth.
3. Spoon the mashed sweet potato into a large saucepan over
medium/high heat, add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

4. When the soup begins to boil, reduce the heat and simmer for
50-60 minutes. Cashews should be soft. Serve hot with an attitude.

Makes 6-8 servings.
