I made this soup this morning to have for lunch with a friend. i didn't add the parsley and thyme but did add the cinnamon and nutmeg! It is awesome!!!

I bake the sweet potatoes whole in the oven instead of cutting everything up. It takes longer to bak, but it's easier to me.

It was easy to make, but I'm not too much of a fan of the parsley and thyme - I think next time I may try making it with cinnamon and nutmeg instead and see if I like it better.
