Robdar, that certainly doesn't sound "yukky", who said it was ???

Shutterbug, I think I know who would call it yukky. My guy is a meat-n-potatoes man. I asked him today if he would like to try a curry with fruit in it. Yukky. Rbodar, your recipe sounds great. When I try it, I will not let my honey know what is in it.

Robdar

Shutterbug,

When I mention this recipe to some people, they say "yuk" when they hear sweet potato. I just don't get it. LOL

JGnat,

Agreed. No need to tell your meat and potatoes man what is in the soup. It's a great little recipe.

Patio,

Yes, with cornbread and honey butter, it is a sweet treat.

Thanks for your response, everybody.

Love,

Robyn
