Sweet Potato Soup to Comfort Your Soul

My lovely cousin Sima made this soup for me while we visited recently, and it was totally nurturing at every level. I made it for my family upon my return and ALL of them loved it; no small feat. On top of that it is easy, forgiving, and quick. May all of your homes be comforted by it too.
