Soup Nazi's Cream of Sweet Potato Soup
"Posted above the counter of the Soup Nazi's "take-out-only" Soup Kitchen is a sign laying out three important steps to buying his soup. Knowing that to violate these rules is to risk being refused service, as most of us have seen in the classic 1995 episode of Seinfeld. This is a "copycat" version of his Cream of Sweet Potato Soup.
P.S. The Rules
1. Stand on line & have your order & money ready when you get to the counter.
2. Tell the Soup Nazi your order & pay him.
3. Move to the far left to receive your order."

This is a great soup. I added roasted garlic to this and they went together soo well! Then after they had simmered for a while i blended the lot, to add the garlic fully. Also (i dont know if this is really soup-strange) but I simmered it with the sweet potato skins in..just to add that extra goodness then i blended them into it aswell. Tasted great and I know im getting my roughage too! Cheers for the recipe. -
great soup...... but to those reviewers who didn't like the consistency and/or texture of the soup , the solution is really quite simple...... blend it!!<br/>i certainly wasn't interested in a watery soup with soggy cashews either, so it seemed obvious to me to blend it for a thick, smooth consistency .<br/>i sauteed a brown onion in the pot before adding the rest. i also added half a head of roasted garlic to the mix. also, i didn't have thyme so threw in a quarter of a bunch of basil towards the end before i blended. and no half and half in Australia, so i used evaporated milk..... delish!! :) -
to much water, bout it was ok.

We were extremely disappointed with this soup. The soggy cashews in it are a total waste; the soup is watery and flavorless. We adore sweet potatoes...love Seinfeld too, but wouldn't go near this recipe again! Ended up throwing it out. -
Coming from New York, this recipe's SPECIAL for me, When I saw it was GREAT to see! Think need to appreciate humour of show, Would I recommend this? Have a go! Only thing added was cayenne pepper,TRUE! PLEASE don't tell the Soup Nazi as then would banned from store too!
