International News - All About Sweet Potatoes

Last week I caught two quick TV items mentioning sweet potatoes. First, CBS' The Early Show on November 30th did an 8:30 am segment with Hannah Storm giving a look at the White House Christmas decorations. During the segment, the First Lady, Laura Bush, said that one of the holiday meals for the First Family will include a signature Sweet Potato Souffle dish, along with Tamales, and Chicken Fried Steak.

Second, NBC's The Today Show on November 29 did a segment including the recipe for a Chicken Soup with sweet potatoes. This soup is suppose to be excellent for providing healing properties for cold and similar illnesses.
