Instructions

1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Put the onion in the saucepan and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cinnamon and nutmeg and sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Push the onion mixture to one side of the pan, pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into the free area of the pan, increase the heat a little and let the butter melt, it should just start to brown. Add the sweet potato cubes, the water, the chicken stock and the carrot cubes and bring everything to a boil.
