Wash and pierce your sweet potatoes and bake at 375F for about 2 hours or until they're nice and soft. Remove from oven and immediately cover (I put ours in a large pan and covered them with its glass lid, but aluminum foil ought to work just as well). Let sit for 30 minutes. Remove skins and discard. Place sweet potatoes and all remaining ingredients in a large stock pot on medium heat. Blend with an immersion blender. Add milk to achieve desired consistency. Heat thoroughly. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon or, for the more adventurous, cayenne pepper. **[You can find all our Meatless Friday featured recipes here](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/tag/meatless-friday).** **Recipe and photo copyright 2015 Erin McCole Cupp. All rights reserved.** ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2015%2F03%2F13%2Fmeatless-friday-sweet-potato-bisque%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2015%2F03%2F13%2Fmeatless-friday-sweet-potato-bisque%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2015%2F03%2F13%2Fmeatless-friday-sweet-potato-bisque%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Meatless%20Friday%3A%20Sweet%20Potato%20Bisque) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2015%2F03%2F13%2Fmeatless-friday-sweet-potato-bisque%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2015%2F03%2F13%2Fmeatless-friday-sweet-potato-bisque%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Erin McCole Cupp](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/ErinCupp.jpg) ### [Erin McCole Cupp](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/erin-mccole-cupp) Erin McCole Cupp, CTRC, is grateful to be recovering from the compulsive effects of developmental and betrayal trauma.
