It got positively freezing here in Atlanta last week, and that calls for soup! We had some beautiful sweet potatoes from Vegetable Husband, so I whipped up a hearty soup to warm us up from the outside in.
Of course, I wanted to use my immersion blender, so this is a blended soup. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can mash the potatoes up with a potato masher or transfer the soup to a regular blender to purée.
