Ingredients

  2 large uncooked sweet potato(es)   
2 cup(s) canned chicken broth, divided   
1 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine   
1 Tbsp all purpose flour   
1/4 tsp ground ginger   
1 cup(s) fat free evaporated milk   
1 Tbsp chopped pecans   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.

  • Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool. When cool, remove and discard skin; chop potatoes.

  • Combine sweet potatoes and 3/4 cup of broth in a blender or food processor; blend or process until smooth, about 1 minute. Set potato mixture aside.

  • Melt margarine in a medium-size saucepan; stir in flour and ginger, and then add milk. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Cook 1 minute more and then stir in sweet potato mixture and remaining 1 1/4 cups of broth. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Pour into 4 serving bowls and sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon of pecans. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Notes

  • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a dash of curry powder with the flour and ginger.

It's okay but that's al I can give it. It's just too sweet for my taste.

Great recipe. I added nature sweeter and sliced almonds instead of pecans. I also added pumpkin spice since I was out of nutmeg.

OK. Good way to use up leftoever sweet potatoes, which I had "baked" in the microwave. I had to add extra chicken broth and milk or it would have been too thick. Definitely could use more spice. I added extra ginger.

This soup is fantastic!! My daughter and I loved it. I tweaked it a little bit, using cinnamon instead of ginger and adding just a sprinkling of brown sugar after pouring into serving bowls. This is definitely a keeper.
