I have seen some recipes like this but have not tried them. I do have some sweet potatoes, so maybe this would be good to make for tomorrow. I like the idea of the corn added!
Thanks for sharing this at the Homestead Blog Hop!

January is soup month? I didn’t know that! I love soup!! My faves are lasagna or cheeseburger soup, potato soup and chicken pot pie soup. I’m not a fan of black beans, but I do love sweet potatoes.
