Rosemary Sweet Potato Soup

A Teacupful of Comfort
On a cold, rainy day nothing tastes better than a warm, velvety soup. It tastes even better when you don't have to spend all night preparing it. This recipe featuring the all-star sweet potato, fits that description as it is extremely simple to make. The oven does most of the work by roasting the vegetables so the soup requires very little stovetop stirring.
