Sweet potato dessert soup

Even though this is considered a dessert soup, I find myself having it as part of my breakfast or during teatime. It's extremely easy to make and simply good to eat!

I like using brown slab sugar, but if that is not available, rock sugar will work just as well. Back home, mum added a pandan leaf (screwpine leaves) knot in the soup giving it a nice sweet aroma. Osmanthus flowers are a good substitute as pandan is relatively difficult to find outside of Southeast Asia.
