    Source of Recipe

    Judi M. Phelps

    List of Ingredients

    3 tablespoons butter
    1/4 cup shallots, chopped
    1/2 medium onion, diced
    2 stalks celery, sliced
    6 cups homemade chicken stock
    1 pinch nutmeg
    1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, cut 1" pieces
    1 cup half and half
    3 tablespoons dry sherry
    white pepper to taste
    1/2 cup walnuts, chopped finely

    Recipe

    Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add the shallots, onion, and celery; cook over low heat about 6 minutes (keep stirring). Add chicken stock, nutmeg, and sweet potatoes. Bring mixture to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. When the potatoes seem tender, put the mixture into a food processor or blender and mix until smooth. Put mixture into a saucepan and add the half and half and sherry. Stir to mix and smooth out. Season with pepper and continue to heat but don't bring to a full boil. Place walnuts in a small dish and have each diner sprinkle the chopped walnuts in the filled soup bowl. Serves about 6 people.
