Ingredients
3 - 4 sweet potatoes (the orange ones), peeled and cut into large chunks3-4 yams (the lighter yellow ones) peeled and cut into large chunksEnough chicken broth to NOT QUITE COVER the sweet potatoes/yams.TURKEY kielbasa sausage (Usually found in the deli meat section, this is a horseshoe shaped ring of sausage.) Sliced into 1/2 inch (or so) slices.1 cup (or to taste) coarsely chopped pecans ( I usually toast them lightly in the oven, but this step is not absolutely necessary.)3 cups ( or to taste) Fat Free Half & Half
**There aren't really any absolutes with this recipe. So go ahead and use your best guess, and a little more or less of some of the ingredients according to your own personal tastes. **
Peel the yams and sweet potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in large soup pot. Pour in enough low-fat chicken broth to not quite cover the sweet potatoes/yams. (Broth should be a good inch or two below the veggies.) Cover and simmer until VERY tender and falling apart. Using a potato masher, mash until most of the sweet potatoes/yams are mushed up. You can leave a few unmashed chunks. (Don't be uptight about it, just mash around a bit then call it good. :-) ) Add the kielbasa, the pecans and enough of the half & half to make the soup creamy. Season with a little pepper, if desired. You shouldn't need much salt, if any, because the kielbasa is a little salty. This recipe makes 8 - 10 hearty main dish servings.
