Notes

NOTE: If you don't have time to pre-bake the sweet potatoes, peel, chunk, and place in sauce pot at same time with the apples. Cook until thoroughly done.
NOTE: Preparation time does not include time required to pre-bake sweet potatoes.
NOTE: While apple cider is preferred, it is usually only available in the fall. Apple juice can be substituted with good results.
NOTE:This soup has a thick texture, if you prefer yours a little thinner, add additional apple juice or cider as desired.
