SWEET POTATO AND SALSA SOUP

Sweet Potato and Salsa Soup image

A little bit sweet and a little bit spicy - but you can make it anywhere from mild to wild! Although relatively low-fat, low-calorie and high-fiber, it is delicious, flavorful and satisfying. You may choose to only partially puree for a chunkier texture. This soup freezes very well. Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, sourdough croutons, and cheese.
