A Vegetarian Thankgiving! Day 8: Creamy Sweet Potato Soup

Now that we’ve covered some favorite Thanksgiving salad and side dishes, let’s move on to the all-important soup course. This recipe integrates standard cookbook format into the video by giving instructions in text without any spoken narration and a soothing soundtrack. The recipe asks for chicken stock, but it can be easily replaced with vegetable stock. And if you want to bring out the earthiness of the sweet potatoes, mushroom stock is a nice add-on.

For many, no holiday dinner is complete without a sweet potato dish. This recipe allows everyone to manage the portions of this course, instead of being served a full (or even half) of a sweet potato at once.
