Hey sweet potato...

Sweet Potato Soup

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour

1 shallot, diced
salt
1/2 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
(More or less to taste)

4 cups vegetable broth
4 cups chopped sweet potatoes - about 2 large

cinnamon stick

1 1/2 cups 1/2 and 1/2
2 tbs brown sugar
2 tbs maple syrup
grated fresh nutmeg

Make a light roux with the butter and flour. Add the shallot, and a pinch of salt, and cook until softened. Add minced chile, vegetable broth, sweet potatoes, and cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are cooked through. Remove cinnamon stick, cool slightly, and blend thoroughly. Return to pot, and 1/2 and 1/2 and reheat. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, and garnish with nutmeg.

I made this one up, it was pretty good. A little spicy for the kids, though, even though I tried to limit the amount of chile pepper I put in. Annette was at Dancing Class, so she missed it.
