List of Ingredients




2 large sweet potato(es)
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 Tbsp chopped pecans

Recipe



Preheat oven to 400ºF.


Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool. When cool, remove and discard skin; chop.


Combine sweet potatoes and 3/4 cup of broth in a blender or food processor; blend or process until smooth, about 1 minute, and set aside.


Melt margarine in a medium-size saucepan; stir in flour and ginger. Add milk. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Cook 1 minute more and then sir in sweet potato mixture and remaining broth. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Pour into 4 serving bowls and sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon of pecans. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
