Nutritious sweet potatoes need little embellishment to make a flavorful soup. This one is made extra easy by microwaving the sweet potatoes ahead of time, sparing the cook from having to scrape and dice them. Just scoop, mash, and heat for a comforting, nearly-instant soup.

Preparation
Step 1
Microwave the sweet potatoes until very easily pierced with a knife. Depending on your unit, this will take from 16 to 24 minutes to bake them all at once.
Step 2
When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half, scoop them out of the skins, and transfer to a bowl. Mash well.
Step 3
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes in a soup pot or large saucepan with the remaining ingredients. Stir together, then heat slowly until the mixture comes to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Serve at once.
