Delilah Winder's Sweet Potato Ginger Soup - 21g Carbs, 3g Fiber, 7g Sugar

[Suggestions: Consider using the light olive oil instead of butter.
Leave the brown sugar out or use a suitable substitute.
Take care, Gloria]

From: Makers of LACTAID Brand Products

Sweet potatoes are, of course a southern favorite and they are once
again the star of the show in this creamy, mildly spicy, slightly
sweet soup. All of the spices here complement sweet potatoes, but
the vibrant flavor of the fresh ginger is the most important. This
soup could easily be served in the cool fall months, but to me, the
bright, spicy ginger represents the freshness of spring.' -Delilah
