Steps:

Spray your soup pot with nonstick cooking spray and place over high heat.
When pan is hot, add the onions, celery and carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil.
Boil soup for 5-6 minutes until the sweet potatoes are just tender. Stir frequently.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and cool before refrigerating. It will stay fresh up to 3 days and taste better each day. Reheat before serving. Or, let cool first before storing and place in your freezer; it can stay frozen for up to two weeks. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before reheating.
Note:.
If you like things a little spicy, a small pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes is a nice addition to this soup. Add during Step 5.
