Tulip soup does not use any part of the tree. I believe the recipe is from a restaurant that was under the shadow of a Tulip tree in Africa. Will post recipe later today when on my PC

We have this tree in Queensland, it does grow down south but does better up here. It can be a bit of a pest when it finds rainforest areas, but it's not as bad as camphor laurel. I wouldn't have expected  to eat it either. 
You would need gold /red sweet potatoes, not the purple ones with the white flesh (whichI cannot bear to eat.)
Having been introduced to sweet soups via German Eel Soup, I can understand the attraction for this soup.
