Instructions

- Add sweet potatoes and stir to coat.
- Add vegetables stock (6 cups), canned tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in the masa (1/4 cup) diluted in water (1/4 cup).
- Turn heat to low and cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

- Serve topped with fixings, if desired.
Notes
- This soup freezes well in an airtight container for up to 6 months. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it when you are ready to serve.
- To make homemade baked tortilla chips to top the soup: Cut 6 corn tortillas into small strips. In a bowl, mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt to taste. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until chips are crispy.
- The longer you cook the soup, the mushier the sweet potatoes will be. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on your preference, but a benefit to cooking the potatoes for a long time is that they will disintegrate into the soup and help thicken it a bit.
