Dec 13

 When I was back home in Indiana over Thanksgiving, I met up with a few friends for dinner and drinks on Black Wednesday. I was disappointed by the lack of veg items on the menu but got excited when the server told me about the Sweet Potato + Smoked Gouda soup they were serving that night. Upon further investigation, I learned that the soup was made with chicken stock, and therefore not vegetarian. I was EXTREMELY disappointed. AND determined. Determined to re-create the soup. It sounded soooo good. (I LOOOOOVE smoked gouda)

I have no idea what the restaurants recipe for this soup is, and I’m not even sure how the restaurants soup tastes, but it wasn’t hard to come up with my own recipe. There are very few ingredients used to make this soup, but it is packed with flavor (I didn’t even have to use salt & pepper)!
