Got this recipe from the Pioneer Press, and we really like it! Thought it would be a good plan for Lent. Halfway through enjoying the first bowl, I realized why Jim had looked puzzled when he saw I was adding chicken stock!

Takes a little muscle and fresh tools to peel, dice and chop sweet potatoes. We use the yellow sweet potatoes.
