PARSNIP AND JAPANESE SWEET POTATO SOUP



Parsnip and Japanese Sweet Potato Soup image

Japanese sweet potatoes are reddish-purple on the outside and a buttery white color on the inside. I've actually seen them called Japanese yams at grocery stores, so take note! Their delicious sweetness pairs really well with parsnip. There's so much flavor from these two root vegetables that I don't add much else to the soup.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 leeks, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise into half-moons
4 teaspoons fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2), peeled and chopped
1 pound parsnips (2 to 3), peeled and chopped
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Pinch of cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
3 slices bacon, finely chopped
4 ounces crusty bread, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese
Creme fraiche, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine 5 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, leeks, 2 teaspoons thyme, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, parsnips, chicken broth, 3 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and the cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes and parsnips are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon and drippings to a large bowl.
  • Add the bread, cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bacon and drippings. Season with salt and pepper and toss, then spread out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, tossing once or twice, until toasted and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth (or puree in batches in a regular blender). Season with salt and more cayenne to taste. Thin with water as needed. Divide the soup among bowls. Top with a swirl of creme fraiche, the croutons and the remaining 2 teaspoons thyme.

POTATO AND PARSNIP SOUP



Potato and Parsnip Soup image

This soup never leaves leftovers in my house! It's an old favourite, adapted from my mother's recipe. Parsnips can be found in most grocery stores if you know where to look! I crumble in an extra stock cube as the veggies simmer to add more flavour but if you're using made-from-scratch stock you won't need it!
