In a heavy saucepot, over medium-low heat, cook the flour and butter, stirring constantly until roux achieves a light caramel color.

Pretty good recipe. I would hesitate to call it soup, it was more like really creamy mashed sweet potatoes, but it was still good (my 4 yr old son had 3 bowls! I think i may add this to one of my holiday meal menus.
My changes to the recipe: coconut flour instead of enriched, almond milk instead of reg milk, and I added 1TB of cracker barrel maple syrup.

I love sweet potato's too and a soup of it is a great idea. I modified the recipe slightly as follows: Instead of boiling the SPs I cut them into small pieces, seasoned them with a little oil in a sealable bag and the spices mixed in and then take them out of the bag. Then cook them in the oven for half an hour on full power, avoiding burning by moving them over half way! This keeps the taste of the SPs. I cannot get enough ot it. I also eperiemented with walnuts and coconut flakes. It can also be turned into a soup for Vegans.
