Sweet Potato Bisque

Tastes like Fall in a bowl.

From one of my favorite cookbooks: Is It Soup Yet?

Ingredients:
~1/2 cup butter
~1/2 cup chopped onion
~1 cup chopped celery
~2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
~3 cups chicken broth
~1 cup milk
~1/2 tsp. ground clove
~salt & pepper to taste

1. In a stock or soup pot, melt the butter. Add onions and celery and saute for 10 minutes.
2. Add the diced sweet potatoes and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-high, cover, and cook for 25 minutes until potatoes are very tender.
3. In a food processor, puree the potatoes in batches, being careful not to splatter - it's hot!
4. Return the puree to the pot and stir in milk and cloves. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
