  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped yellow onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 2 finely chopped celery stalks and 1 thinly sliced leek (white and light green parts only, well washed) and sauté for another 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  4. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add 1.5 lbs cubed sweet potatoes, 4 cups chicken stock, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
