EASY CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP



Easy Creamy Sweet Potato Soup image

This is one of my signature dishes. I made this recipe when I was 12 years old. If you want to use potato instead of sweet potato, replace the coconut milk with cow's milk. Add your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor, or just prepare it as stated.

CREAMY SWEET POTATO WITH GINGER SOUP



Creamy Sweet Potato With Ginger Soup image

A pureed vegetable soup can be an impressive, easy and affordable first course for an elegant dinner, or even a light dinner on its own with salad and bread.

Provided by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Sweet Potato Soup Recipes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds peeled raw sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: chopped honey-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add sweet potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add ginger, nutmeg and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

SIMPLE SWEET POTATO SOUP



Simple Sweet Potato Soup image

This delicious soup has only 6 ingredients. It was given to me by my boyfriend's mom who adapted it from another recipe. It can be as thick or thin as you like, and I like it quite thick. To dress it up when serving, drizzle some cream on top and float a lime twist or slice of lime on top. Delicious hot or cold.

CREAM OF SWEET POTATO SOUP

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup peeled, diced carrot
1 1/2 teaspoons Roasted Garlic Puree, recipe follows
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground allspice
1 small bay leaf
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon light molasses
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup peeled garlic cloves
1 cup extra virgin or regular olive oil

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic puree; cook for 3 minutes, until vegetables are soft. Mix in the potatoes, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and bay leaf, and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes, until potatoes begin to soften and spices are aromatic.
  • Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Puree the soup using a hand-held immersion blender, or blend in several batches in a blender. (If using a standard blender, place a folded dish towel over the top to prevent hot liquid from splashing out.) Pulse on and off until the soup is smoothly pureed. Return the soup to the saucepan and whisk in the cream, brown sugar, molasses, salt, and pepper. Serve hot.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place the garlic in a small, ovenproof container and pour in the oil. Use additional oil if needed to completely immerse all the garlic cloves. Cover the container with aluminum foil and roast 1 hour, until garlic is soft and light golden brown.
  • Strain the garlic and place in a blender along with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Puree to a smooth consistency, adding a small amount of oil if necessary. Pour into a container and cover the top of the puree with a thin layer of the oil. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Reserve the remaining garlic-infused oil in another container and refrigerate.

SOUP NAZI'S CREAM OF SWEET POTATO SOUP



Soup Nazi's Cream of Sweet Potato Soup image

Posted above the counter of the Soup Nazi's "take-out-only" Soup Kitchen is a sign laying out three important steps to buying his soup. Knowing that to violate these rules is to risk being refused service, as most of us have seen in the classic 1995 episode of Seinfeld. This is a "copycat" version of his Cream of Sweet Potato Soup. P.S. The Rules 1. Stand on line & have your order & money ready when you get to the counter. 2. Tell the Soup Nazi your order & pay him. 3. Move to the far left to receive your order.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes: Different types of sweet potatoes can add different flavors and textures to your soup. For example, orange sweet potatoes are sweeter and have a softer texture, while purple sweet potatoes are more earthy and have a firmer texture.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup: Roasting the sweet potatoes brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, giving the soup a richer flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until the soup is flavorful and well-balanced.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or crumbled bacon: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

Cream of sweet potato soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and vibrant color, cream of sweet potato soup is a surefire hit with the whole family.
