Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 cup celery
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon cloves
salt and pepper to taste.
Directions:
Melt the butter in a 4 qt. saucepan. Add the onions and celery and saute for 10 minutes. Add the sweet diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium, cover and cook for 25 minutes until the potatoes are very tender. Puree the potatoes in a blender (in small batches) or with a hand-held immersion blender. Stir in the milk and cloves. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Reheat and serve.

I would reduce the amount of cloves to 1/4 tsp so that its more of a hint of flavor.
