Wow! I made this because we are doing an Iron Chef type competition at work and the ingredient was sweet potato. I thought this was interesting. I was not expecting it to be so good! I think I just might win! I did use chicken broth instead of vegetable, and I also added some cider as another reviewer suggested and cannelloni beans. I was planning on adding pasta, but, I don''t think it needs it! This will wind up in my recipe collection as something I will make regularly. As a dessert I made the sweet potato pound cake from this site, I fear that gem won't make it out of the house.. At least I got to try this one out without anyone noticing something missing. UPDATE I got second place in my contest at work to sweet potato fries with dipping sauces, I wanted a recount! People that like sweet potato, and people that don't like soup alike asked for the recipe!

I made this tonight and it was AWESOME! I did change the crust and used crushed pretzels and unsalted butter instead because I thought that would be to die for, it was!

I have made this twice now, the first time I added the cayenne and my 9 year old tried it and said he liked it, but, it was too spicy. Tonight he loved it. I added cayenne to my own bowl and it was perfect. I do leave the shrimp out, we don't eat it, and it is perfect without it. I added some cooked Texmati rice at the end of the cooking process. This is definitely going to be a go to recipe for me, I always have the ingredients on hand and it economical also.
