Blonde» - Sweet and Blonde.I started with two yams - only available at the African marché here. All of the grocery stores and other corner stores have 3-4 varieties of white pomme de terre, but only the African markets have yams. And they are white with purple flesh.
I added vegetable bouillon to water to make broth, and cooked the cubed yams in the broth. I then added about a one inch piece of ginger and two cloves of ail, minced. I cooked for a while until soft.
I then added about a cup of Leffe Blonde. This is a beer that is almost baked bean-like - it has some sweetness, some spice. I knew it would pair well with yams. I also added a pinch of nutmeg to bring together the flavours, and obviously sel et poivre.
Puréeing the soup left it smooth, creamy, and ready to serve. A splash of lait made it complete.
Bon Rampetit.

Pour avoir eu le privilège de gouter cette soupe le soir même de sa préparation, je peux vous dire qu'elle est vraiment très réussie! Sucrée avec un petit gout de gingembre, le mélange donne un savoureux plat bien relevé et parfait pour un soir d'hiver à Bruxelles! Bonne continuation :)

In retrospect, I really should have completed Muzzy.
yams and ginger and beer - GREAT combo that I never would have thought of on my own! Nice.
