Sweet Potato Soup...what was I thinking?

Just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I've stopped testing recipes! I tried a Sweet Potato soup recipe this week; I had clipped this recipe out of a magazine at some point and stuffed it in a folder of recipes to try. Before I made this soup, I anticipated it would be similar to Butternut Squash soup - only sweeter. things started out well. I had purchased several perfect sweet potatoes and I was extremely motivated (aka hungry). Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. For some reason, I had blender issues. Sweet potato came spewing out of the top of the blender when I tried to blend the first batch. Assuming I hadn't put the lid on all the way, I tried again. Hot soup landed on my face, in my hair, and all over my kitchen. I ended up having to rest my arm on the blender and push down full force while blending.

The soup was thin and somewhat tasteless. I thickened it, added curry powder and black beans, and it was edible. I even ate it 2 days in a row. However, I will not share that recipe here.

Watch for more recipes later this week!
