ha. this sounds like something i'd like to do one of these days. i guess the baking /could/ bring out more of the sugars (eg i think when i steam/bake beets they taste sweeter than when they're just sauteed?) maybe golden beets would be in order (less sugar content i think?). now that i think about it i think i'd be tempted to throw in raw, grated beets towards the end. maybe just controlling sweetness by trying to be clever with quantity (it sounds pretty hearty already, eh)? anyways, i needed this reminder, thx!

raw grated beats at the end sounds like a good addition: interesting textural and flavour contrasts and probably would bring a vibrancy of colour that perhaps the cooked beet lacks

My sweet potato/tomato soup ended up going in kind of a different direction, owing to the fact that spouse had roasted the sweets with mystery seasonings that included cinnamon. I sauteed an onion and a couple of cloves of garlic, tossed in a 28 oz can of toms and the roasted sweets, added some milk and cream, blended up. Really good and super velvety, also a somewhat unusual color because the sweet potatoes were a deep purple variety??? Anyhow, leftovers for dinner tonight.

blended sweet potatoes in a broth add a very nice creamy texture i find. although i guess the milk and cream might have been the main culprits in this case

Even with the dairy, it was this really cool deep maroon color--neither red like a tomato or orange like the standard sweet potato. Didn't hurt that they were roasted over coals. Spouse reports that the mystery seasoning involved paprika and garlic powder? I swear I tasted cinnamon, but he denies this. And oh yeah like WmC I added sriracha. Good soup, will make again. And it will taste different but also good.
