Sweet Potato Bisque

Super simple rich soup~~I'm a huge fan of it even if my family isn't. 

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onions 

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
½ block 1/3 Fat Cream Cheese
salt and pepper to taste.

Cook sweet potatoes in a crockpot for 4-5 hours on low with 1 cup of chicken broth.  Remove sweet potatoes and let cool.  

Melt the butter in a 4 qt. saucepan. Add the onions and saute for 10 minutes. Then add the chicken broth from the crock pot.

Peel sweet potatoes and cut into smaller pieces.  Add to the onions and puree the mixture in a blender (in small batches) or with a hand-held immersion blender. Stir in the milk and cream cheese. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.  I like to add a little garlic (or garlic powder) too..
