Preparing Your Sweet Potato Soup.
Do not get sweet potatoes from the refridgeration section of a super market, cold temperatures change the taste of sweet potatoes, so try to find them elsewhere if this is the case.
If you have organic sweet potatoes you can use the skin but if they are conventional you will want to peel them. Alot of times on conventionally grown sweet potatoes they are treated with dye's and waxes which you really don't want to eat.
Always rinse your vegetables, so do this first then peel the sweet potatoes if needed and chop them in 1/8's.
Peel and chop your onion in 1/8's.
Chop the baby carrots in half or thirds.
