Sweet Potato Sausage Soup

I have reservations about this dish the first time i tasted it, but boy, was i wrong! sweet potatoes & sausage are a great combination. don't leave out the thyme, it is essential. Great comfort food on cold winter days. this is a sugar buster's recipe.

Steps

Cooked diced sausage in a soup pot with a little of the butter for about five minutes.
Drain making sure to pour off all accumulated fat.
In the empty pot , melt the butter and saute the onion until soft.
Add the thyme and sweet potatoes and cook for another five minutes.
Add the cooked sausage , syrup and broth.
Cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the cream.
Warm but do not boil.
If you want a soup with a thicker consistency , half way through the cooking time ladle some of the soup without the sausage into a blender or hand mixer and whirl making a creamy texture.
Add this back to the soup pot and continue cooking.
