SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH GINGER, LEEK AND APPLE



Sweet Potato Soup With Ginger, Leek and Apple image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil or butter
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and sliced
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 1/4 pounds orange sweet potatoes (like jewel yams or garnet yams), peeled and diced
1/2 pound Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 to 1 1/4 pounds tart apples, like Braeburn or Granny Smith, peeled, cored and diced
2 quarts water
Salt to taste
Fresh lime juice and medium-hot chili powder or chipotle chili powder for garnish

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. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and healthy soup, give this recipe a try.
