Method
- 1
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the sliced green onions for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- 2
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and form a light roux.
- 3
Slowly whisk in the water and chicken base, a little at a time, to keep the roux smooth and lump-free.
- 4
Stir in the canned sweet potato casserole, half and half, Mr Jims seasoning, and curry powder.
- 5
Let simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom, for 15-20 minutes, until thickened to a creamy, pourable consistency.
- 6
If a smoother texture is desired, purée with an immersion blender until silky. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- 7
Garnish With Green Onion Or Marshmallows and serve hot.
