In a heavy saucepot, over medium-low heat, melt the butter.

Add flour & stir constantly until the roux achieves a light caramel color.

Add the broth and brown sugar and bring it to a boil. Then lower to a simmer.

Stir in the cooked sweet potatoes and spices then bring to a simmer again and cook for 5 more minutes.

Add the milk, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

In a blender, puree the soup and return to the saucepot afterward. If using a stick blender, puree directly on the saucepot.

Season with salt and pepper and adjust accordingly.

Ladle into the soup bowls and swirl with sour cream on top, then garnish with parsley before serving.
