Before I get to the recipe portion, let's talk about some of the benefits of arugula; some of this is brand-new to me!

So, originally I was going to make a ton of sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving. It didn't pan out but I had about three big-ass sweet potatoes I needed to get rid of. I've been meaning to try sweet potato soup for a while and well, what better time than the present, right?
