1. Cut the Sweet Potato in half. Spread the Margarine on the cut sides of the Sweet Potato. Put the two Halves cut side down on a Baking Sheet. Bake the Sweet Potato for about 25 minutes at 450 degrees Centigrade. You will know when the Sweet Potato is cooked when you can easily stick a Fork into it.
2. Dice the Onion and Garlic. Add the Oil to a Medium sized Pot. Cook the Onion on High heat for about 2 Minutes. Make sure to Stir constantly so that the Onion does not burn to the bottom of the Pot. Add the Garlic and Cook for another 2 Minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Skin the Sweet Potato and add the Sweet Potato sans Skin to the Pot (I like to snack on the skin). Stir the Sweet Potato covering the Sweet Potato with the Oil, Garlic and Onion. While stirring break up the Sweet Potato. Return to Heat and stir constantly. Cook until it begins to burn the bottom of the pot. Remove from heat.
4. Fill the Pot with water. The more water you add the longer it will take to reduce, for a Medium Sized Pot fill it to half full. Puree the Soup. Return to heat and bring to a Boil.
5. Add the Peas and Soy Milk.
6. Boil off the water until its reduced. You will know when its reduced when the Soup is thicker and it doesn't taste like Sweet Potato Kool-Aid. You can usually tell if it is has been reduced enough when the level of the Soup has been reduced by at least 5 Centimetres. But be your own judge.
7. Add the Salt and Pepper. Add the Basil.
8. Bonne Apetite
Serves about 4.
Notes
_________
You could easily replace the Sweet Potato with Squash/Potatos/Pumpkin. It may take Longer/Sshorter to cook but Experiment and have Fun.
