       Yield: 8 servings
  
       2 T  Margarine
       2 md Onions,chopped
       2 md Carrots,diced
       1 lg Celery stalk,diced
            Handful of celery leaves
       6 c  Diced sweet potatoes (1/2")
       2    Bay leaves
     1/4 t  Dried thyme

   Heat the margarine in a large pot. Add the onions, carrots and celery
   and saute over low heat until the onions are golden. Add the celery
   leaves and sweet potato dice. Just add enough water to cover all but
   about one inch of the vegetables.
   
   Bring to a boil, then stir in the bay leaves and seasonings. Simmer
   over moderate heat until the sweet potatoes and vegetables are
   tender, about 20 minutes.
   
   With a slotted spoon, remove about half of the solid ingredients and
   transfer to a food processor along with about one-half of the cooking
   liquid.
   
   Process until smoothly pureed, then stir back into the soup pot.
   
   Add the soy milk as needed to achieve a slightly thick consistency.
   Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer over very low heat for
   another 10 to 15 minutes.
