Creamy Sweet Potato Soup Recipe
Ingredients
* 2 Tbsp (1/4 stick) butter
* 1 cup chopped onion
* 2 small celery stalks, chopped
* 1 medium leek, sliced (white and pale green parts only)
* 1 large garlic clove, chopped
* 1 1/2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
* 4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
* 1 cinnamon stick
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1 1/2 cups half and half
* 2 Tbsp maple syrup
* The leafy tops of the celery stalks, chopped
Method
1 Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add chopped celery stalks and leek, sauté about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes.
2 Add sweet potatoes, chicken stock, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
3 Remove cinnamon stick and discard. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return to pot.
4 Add half and half and maple syrup and stir over medium-low heat to heat through. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool soup slightly. Cover and refrigerate soup and celery leaves separately. Bring soup to simmer before continuing.) Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with celery leaves.
Serves 6 to 8.
Matthew
4 large sweet potatoes
1/2 cup butter
4-5 cups chicken broth
3 cups half-and-half
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch dried thyme
1 cup cashew halves
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake sweet potatoes until soft, about 45 minutes. Remove potatoes, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Then peel, and place in a large bowl. With a large fork or potato masher, mash potatoes for 15 to 20 seconds (they do not need to be mashed smooth).
Spoon the potatoes into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in butter, broth, and half-and-half. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in cashews, and mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until cashews are soft, about 50 to 60 minutes
