Sweet potato unites flavors in tasty soup

Deb Weiser is fast developing a reputation as West Wooster Street's "go-to girl" for tasty homemade soups.
She shared one of her own favorites, sweet potato corn chowder, at last month's Bowling Green Winterfest Soup and Chili Cook-off, where her entire supply of 200-plus samples disappeared in less than two hours.
Now she's generously releasing the recipe to the public, even though it is one of the soups that shows up with some regularity on the menu at her relatively new carry out/dine-in business called Good to Go.
"We probably have about 10 soups that we make regularly," Weiser estimated. "We make a sausage lentil soup that's really popular," as are her chicken noodle, beef barley mushroom, white chicken chili, and French Market ham and bean.
The day the Sentinel-Tribune photographer showed up at 1220 W. Wooster St., she was about to mix up a batch of butternut squash soup, to be served alongside the sweet potato chowder.
The latter is a recipe that Weiser has had for a long time.
