Parsnip and Japanese Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Parsnip and Japanese Sweet Potato Soup Recipe). Japanese sweet potatoes are reddish-purple on the outside and a buttery white color on the inside. I've actually seen them called Japanese yams at grocery stores, so take note! Their delicious sweetness pairs really well with parsnip. There's so much flavor from these two root vegetables that I don't add much else to the soup.
