Ingredients

  • 2 large dark-orange sweet potatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Additional ground nutmeg, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat enough water to cover sweet potatoes to boiling in 2-quart saucepan. Add sweet potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork; drain. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slip off skins; discard skins.
  • 2
    Place potatoes in blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup of the broth. Cover and blend on medium speed until smooth.
  • 3
    Return blended mixture to saucepan. Stir in remaining broth, the orange juice, salt and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until hot. Stir in milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until hot. Sprinkle with pecans and additional nutmeg.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You may omit step 1 by using a 23-ounce can of sweet potatoes in place of the fresh sweet potatoes. Be sure to add the juices from the can with the potatoes to make the soup more flavorful.
