I just happened upon this wonderful soup which was inspired by a great cookbook (one of my favs) from the Toronto Vegetarian Association's Cookbook. Sweet potato is one of those super-foods which doctors say should be part of any healthy diet...so I like to include sweet potatoes in several meals throughout the week.
Here is this simple but hearty recipe...nice eaten by a warm fire and an adventurous book on the side!
African Sweet Potato Soup
1 large chopped jewelled yam (peeled and chopped)
2-3 chopped carrots
1/2 chopped onion
2-4 cups water (enough to cook the vegetable)
2-3 Tbsp peanut butter
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1-2 tsp salt (optional)
Cook the soup for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Blend the veggies in a blender with the water from the soup until the soup is all smooth. Put the soup back in pot and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Add peanut butter at this time and any other spice which you think could jazz it up a bit...I just like it as is. Simple, creamy and so satisfying! :)

I just made this soup tonight and it is absolutely delicious! I had some issues because my blender did not want to work so I had to mix with an electric mixer instead. But in the end, it is just as delicious, just maybe more of a "chunkier" version that extremely smooth. Yum yum!

These look great! I recently read a recipe in Bon Appetit that added a huge pat of butter to the inside of a burger! I'm glad to see something that doesn't rely on so much fat for flavor, haha.

Belstaff Leather is not only the motorcycle jacket, but also known as the stars jacket, we could see more famous stars wore them in the movies as well as other casual occasions. The Belstaff Outlet was designed with three separate components to allow the two adventurers to face all conditions they would be likely to experience on their journey. Back in the history of Belstaff UK, in 1924, Harry Grasberg and his father in law, Eli Belo itch, pooled their talents to produce, a cozy collection of waterproofs that all the foggy Albion inhabitances needed. Belstaff Clothing sturdily constructed and cleverly designed to combat the worst of the British weather, these prototypes of today’s wide range fashion collection soon caught the popular imagination.

This is some reliable material. It took me some time to unearth this web page but it was worth the time. I noticed this page was hidden in yahoo and not the first spot. This website has a lot of good quality stuff and it doesn’t deserve to be burried in the search engines like that. By the way I am going to add this web publication to my favorites.
