Smokey Duck And Sweet Potato Soup
After my husband came home with some wild duck breasts i was left trying to figure out how on earth i was going to cook it. I was in the mood for soup and sweet potatoes so i rolled it all into one. My husband loved it and my oldest went back in for a second helping. I added a bit more hot sauce to mine because i love my food with a good kick to it but my husband liked it as is. I made extra rices so everyone (but me) served their soup over extra rice. If you use store bought duck your breasts would be larger then wild game that i had so you would have to adjust the amount. You could also use this recipe with any meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc) and i think it would taste just as good. I would stick to 1-2 pounds of meat though depending on how meaty you want your stew and how many you are feeding.
