Not to be wasteful…..
As I was going through my too-full vegetable bin, I discovered 2 large sweet potatoes that looked just a little sad. So, in my frugal manner, I went to the biggest cookbook in the world (internet) and looked for a yam/sweet potato soup. Found a couple, and tried this one:
Creamy Yam Soup 
5 cups stock or water (I used chicken stock)
8 cups yams, peeled and chopped
2 large carrots, roughly chopped
2 large celery stalks, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (I like a teaspoon or more)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Bring stock or water to a boil
Add all ingredients
Boil until all veggies are soft, approximately 30 minutes
Let cool slightly, place in a blender or food processor, a batch at a time
and blend until smooth.
Return to pot, keep warm on low heat for 15 minutes.
It was a little different, and quite good. I only made 1/2 a recipe, because I wasn’t too sure it would be a hit.
