Mixed Potato Soup

The co-authors of this soup recipe started with this comment:
"We've never met a potato soup we didn't like."  But they came up with this combination of four different varieties:
-  Sweet potatoes
-  Fingerling potatoes
-  Yukon gold potatoes

-  Red Potatoes

We didn't have most of those in the house so we used what we had.
That came down to 1 cup of sweet potatoes and 3 cups of Idaho baking potatoes.
We also substituted chicken broth for vegetable broth.

Onion, garlic, milk, cumin, and cinnamon were the other main ingredients.
Recipe suggests using a blender to make a smooth soup.  Not wanting to take time to do that we served it with the bite-size pieces in it.  That texture we really prefer and enjoyed it a lot.  It is definitely marked as a keeper for us.
