Third Day

Today I'm using up the sweet potatoes. I bought a new cookbook called Top Secret Recipes, and it has famous food recipes in it, like McDonald's French Fries, or KFC fried chicken. There's a series of Soup Nazi recipes, from Seinfeld Show. I'm making Cream of Sweet Potato Soup:

4 sweet potatoes (about 1 lb each)
8 cups water
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 T half-and-half
2 t salt
1/8 t pepper
dash thyme
1 cup cashews (pieces)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake sweet potatoes for 45 min. Cool until they can be handled.

Peel away the skin, put potatoes in a large bowl and mash for 15-20 seconds - they don't have to be smooth.

Spoon the mashed sweet potatoes into a large saucepan over medium/high heat, add teh remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

When soup begins to boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 50-60 mins. Cashews should be soft. Serve hot.

Can't wait ... I'm taking this one to game night tomorrow!
