Chicken & Sweet Potato Chowder
This soup is very good and very easy to make. I used the FF 1/2
and 1/2 and the sweet potatoes. I am sure it would be great using white
potatoes and some carrots too.

Cooking Tip: Leeks are related to both garlic and onion, but their flavor is
milder. To slice leeks; trim roots and leaf ends. Slit the leek lengthwise
from top to bottom and wash thoroughly. Slice or chop as desired. Store
refrigerated in resealable plastic food bag up to 5 days.
