- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Pierce the potatoes in several places with a fork and roast in the oven until they are tender, 45 minutes to an hour. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly.
- When cool enough to handle, remove the potatoes from the skin and place the potatoes in a blender along with 1 cup of the chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
- In a soup pan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and let the mixture cook for a minute or two. Whisk in the curry powder and the nutmeg. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk, followed by the remaining cup of chicken broth. Stir in the sweet potato mixture.
- Continue to cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
