Melt
butter and saute onion and celery until translucent
and celery is tender. Add potatoes and cover with
chicken broth, then cook over medium heat for 15
minutes. Add 3 cups chicken broth and simmer until
potatoes are tender.
In the meantime, saute 1/2 pound andouille sausage
until it begins to brown. Remove from heat. When
sweet potatoes are tender, puree the mixture in
batches in a food processor. Return to pan, add
the sauteed sausage and more broth or water if necessary
to make a velvety smooth consistency. Add cinnamon,
nutmeg, cayenne, hot sauce, white pepper and salt.
Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Verify seasoning
and serve piping hot with chopped parsley. Serves
