SWEET POTATO & GINGER SOUP
This is a recreation of a soup I was served at a wonderful restaurant in downtown Greensboro, NC. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes combined with the fragrant ginger, earthy cumin, and spicy cayenne give this soup a deep flavor with multiple levels of warmth. If an immersion blender is not available, soup maybe be blended in a regular blender in small batches.

GINGERED SWEET POTATOES
Part of my Thanksgiving dinner, this dish is a nice change from the more original sweet potatoe casserole. It is not as sweet as the ones that people usually compare to as a dessert.
