Sweet Potato and Apple Soup

My mom made this divine soup for Thanksgiving dinner and I just had to share it with all of you!! It is a perfect cold weather food and such a great addition to add to the generic soups. No matter if you're making it for a large group or just yourself (always good to store extra so you don't have to cook for a night!), you should definitely try out this yummy recipe!
