Cream of Sweet Potato Soup

Sweet potatoes are a hearty winter vegetable; when baked, roasted, or made into stews, their meat is rich and dense. In this cream of sweet potato soup, a little goes a long way. Sweet potatoes, with just a bit of cream and salt, stand well on their own in a sweet and savory soup.
