This is a vegetable version of the classic Thai Tom Yum soup. You can find lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal (a close relative of ginger) at any Asian supermarket. If you can't find the lime leaves, you can add extra lime juice to taste, but do try to find the lime leaves because they make a big difference. It tastes just like my local Thai restaurant!

Awesome Sweet Potato Casserole
Diane Thornton gave me this awesome sweet potato casserole recipe in the late 1980s in Jackson, Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings, people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a dessert than a side dish. All I know is it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.
