With Thanksgiving looming around the corner, I look for something new to make for dinner and try it out ahead of time - I liked this sweet potato soup. Found this one on another website. Sounds warm, creamy and good. I would substitute fat free evaporated milk to lessen calories and make it in the slow cooker.
