SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH GINGER, LEEK AND APPLE
This was our favorite recipe test of the soup batch. Inspired by a sweet potato and apple purée I make every year for Thanksgiving, the soup also has savory overtones. For a spectacular finish, garnish each bowl with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of medium-hot chili powder or chipotle chili powder.

Steps:
- Heat the oil or butter in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, regular potato, apples and water and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to an hour, until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.
- Using an immersion blender, purée the soup (or you can use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing) until very smooth. Return to the pot, heat through and adjust salt. Ladle into bowls, squeeze a little lime juice and sprinkle a little chili powder over each serving and serve.

Steps:
- Saute the leeks for 4 minutes in the butter. Add the stock and sweet potato and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is cooked.
- Season the mixture with black pepper, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Place the cooled soup into a food processor, and liquidise until smooth.
- Return the soup to the pan and bring back to the boil, adding any extra water as necessary to thin the soup to the required consistency.
- If desired, grill the bacon until crispy, and cut into bite sized pieces.
- Place the soup into the serving bowls and sprinkle the bacon pieces over the top.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor, select a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin. These varieties are sweeter and have a denser flesh than other types of pumpkins.
- Roast the pumpkin before adding it to the soup: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to blend into a smooth soup.
- Use a variety of leeks: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of green and white leeks. The green leeks add a bit of bitterness, while the white leeks are sweeter.
- Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked soup will become watery and bland. Simmer the soup for just until the vegetables are tender.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat.
Conclusion:
This pumpkin, sweet potato, and leek soup is a delicious and nutritious way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin and sweet potatoes.
