Sweet Potato and Brandy Soup image

A fantastic soup for a chilly fall evening. The scent of brandy and allspice will permeate throughout your home. You can puree the soup if you like, although I prefer to leave it chunky.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. It's also a great make-ahead meal, as it reheats well.
