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.

Tips:

1. Choose the right sweet potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, select firm, medium-sized sweet potatoes that are free of blemishes and bruises. 2. Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to ensure that the pancakes have plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly. 3. Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the pancakes, be sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook properly. 4. Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. 5. Flip the pancakes only once: Once the pancakes have started to bubble around the edges, carefully flip them only once. Flipping them too often can cause them to break apart. 6. Serve the pancakes immediately: Gingered sweet potato pancakes are best served immediately, while they are still warm and fluffy.

Conclusion:
