SLOW COOKER SWEET POTATO SOUP
I love that I can top this creamy soup with anything my heart desires, which means I can eat it several days in a row without ever having to have it the same way twice. You can substitute fresh onions and celery in this recipe if you prefer, but using the dried version makes it easy to throw together on a weekday morning. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

SWEET POTATO SOUP
This sweet potato soup, given a hint of yeastiness with the addition of Belgian-style beer, could take on several roles at Thanksgiving. It may be your first course, one that's deeply flavored but not dense and heavy. Or you could ladle it into small cups for guests to sip as an hors d'oeuvre before they are seated. And it provides a reason to skip the sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows. (Though it is a tradition in many households, it's not a favorite of mine - but I did give it a shout-out by garnishing the soup with lightly toasted mini-marshmallows.) Regardless of how you serve this silken soup, be assured that it's light enough to welcome a white wine, yet rich enough to pair with red.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a 4-quart saucepan. Add the garlic, onion, carrot and celery and cook on low until tender and translucent. Add the thyme. Add the sweet potatoes, increase the heat a little and cook, stirring from time to time, until the sweet potatoes are tender and start to caramelize, about 12 minutes. Add the apples and cook another 5 minutes or so, until they are tender. Pour in the beer and deglaze the pan.
- Add 5 cups water and the cinnamon stick and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Allow soup to cool slightly, then purée it in a blender. You may have to do this in two batches.
- Return the soup to the pot, stir in the nutmeg and cream and simmer for 15 minutes. Check seasonings.
- Thread the marshmallows on several bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between them. Ignite them over a flame, just a few seconds, so they're lightly toasted. Blow out the flame and gently remove the marshmallows to a cutting board. Pour the soup into bowls, top each with a few toasted marshmallows and serve.

BEEFY SWEET POTATO SOUP
I hate being cold, but one of the best remedies for that is warm soup. I took my mother's water-based vegetable soup recipe and worked with it to make the flavors richer. The meat and veggies in this dish are the perfect cure for a cold night and a hungry family. -Lisa Cooper, Leander, Texas

SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH MASCARPONE
This is a modification on a recipe that is one of my recipe books. I made it lighter by cutting out oil and nuts. You can also try it with roasted hazelnuts like the original, but I feel the soup is good enough without it.
