If you like flavor, you'll love this exotic blend! If your palate is sensitive, add the all spice a little at a time.

2 sweet potatoes
1 medium onion, chopped in chunks
4 cups water
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
Sprinkle black pepper
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp salt

Peel sweet potatoes with a carrot peeler, chop them up and put them in a pot. Add onion and water.

Bring to a rolling boil and then let simmer until vegetables are soft. Approximately 20 minutes.

Blend this entire mixture, including water, in a blender. Add all spices and blend.

Reheat soup to serve. The flavors from the spices burst forth once heated.
