sweet-potato-chowder recipe

 Anyway, the following recipe, modified slightly to accomodate my
 taste, comes from the McDougall book.  I increased the seasonings,
 omitted the celery (which I don't like in soup), and substituted
 spinach for kale.  The result is a delicate soup whose sweetness, from
 the vegetables, is well balanced by the soy sauce and other
 seasonings.
 
 I served it to a SAD friend who is a gourmet cook, and she was clearly
 impressed and approving.
