Preparation

Step 1

In a large soup kettle, heat the olive oil and add the onions. When onions become translucent, stir in the leeks and celery. Sweat the vegetables for 2 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and garlic. When the garlic is fragrant, add the stock and sage. Cook for 25 minutes.

When the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to purée all vegetables until smooth. Add the evaporated milk and cook for 2 more minutes only. Do not bring to a boil.

Adjust seasonings and serve.
