SWEET POTATOES SOUP

Remember in December 2015, Sweet Potatoes was featured as vegetable of the month because of its health benefits. Today I am making a healthy soup with sweet potatoes. This soup has no oil added to it.
This is a delicious soup that can be eaten any time of the day. It's very soothing when you have the cold, perfect as a light meal with a slice of toasted whole wheat bread,  or in combination with other meals at lunch or dinner.
