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

i **cking love the purple sweets tayters. finding ways to incorporate them in things isn't challenging per se, but something i feel like i need (want) to remind myself to think about. tha soup sounds intriguing, quincie

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.
