2. Next add the broth, sweet potatoes, pears (or apples), salt and cayenne pepper.
3. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the temperature and simmer for about 30 minutes until vegetables are tender. Purée in a blender or food processor. Taste and add in more salt or pepper. * if you want it to be a little sweeter add in a tsp of sugar.
