Sweet Potato Soup, Spiced biscuits

I had a few requests for my sweet potato soup and spiced biscuits recipe on facebook so here it is - I made up this recipe some time ago because Steve likes sweet potatoes so much. I normally do not like them but I do in this soup.

This is what we do for our family:

Coarsely chop enough sweet potatoes to feed your family (for us this is approximately 10 lbs). Place in crock pot or roaster. Coarsely chop one onion (size again depending on your family). Add to sweet potatoes. Add water or chicken broth to just cover the potatoes. Cook until tender. Puree sweet potato mixture until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook one to two pounds of country or breakfast sausage, add to pureed mixture. Then add approximately one to two teaspoons of nutmeg and one quart of heavy cream. Combine and heat gently until ready to serve.


Spiced biscuits are easy. Take your normal biscuit recipe, quadruple the required sugar amount and add 2-6 teaspoons of apple pie spice. (When we make a batch of 48 biscuits we use 1.5 tablespoons of apple pie spice). For the liquid part of the recipe, combine half beer and half buttermilk. Let rest for about 10 minutes after mixing then form, bake and enjoy...:-)
