serves:

Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes
Water
Butter
Tomato sauce
Half and half
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Cashew nuts (split)
6
8 cups
1/3 cup
½ cup
2 tsp
½ tsp
¼ tsp
1 dash
1 cup
Method:
Preheat oven to 185°C. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 minutes or until they are soft. Cool the potatoes until they can be handled. Peel away the skin, then put the potatoes into a large bowl. Mash the potatoes
for 15−20 seconds, but you don't need to mash them until they are entirely smooth.
Spoon the mashed sweet potato into a large saucepan over medium/high heat, add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. When the soup begins to boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 50−60 minutes. Cashews should be soft. Serve piping hot.
