Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large sweet potatoes
⅓ cup butter
8 cups water
½ cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons half-and-half
2 teaspoons salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch dried thyme
1 cup cashew halves

Steps:

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, water, tomato sauce, 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.

EASY CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP

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.

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.
