Provided by KitchenKelly

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 cups, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium sized sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 head garlic (about 5 unpeeled cloves)
1 teaspoon ginger
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 -2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Slice potatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Brush cut surfaces with vegetable oil and place cut side down on a baking sheet.
  • Scatter garlic cloves in center of pan (you may need two pans).
  • Bake until potatoes are very soft, about 25-60 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Scoop out potato pulp from skins and place in a blender (you may need to do this in several batches depending on the size of your blender and the size of the sweet potato).
  • Squeeze garlic cloves from their skin (use to taste, I used about 2), and place in blender with ginger.
  • Whirl potatoes, adding broth slowly as needed to produce a puree.
  • Transfer puree to a large pot and stir in remaining broth and water until desired thickness (as you heat the soup it will thicken so you may need to add more water as it heats).
  • Heat over medium low, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until hot.
  • Soup keeps well frozen or in the refrigerator.

SWEET POTATO-GARLIC SOUP WITH CHILE OIL



Sweet Potato-Garlic Soup With Chile Oil image

This silky-smooth sweet potato soup features the deep flavor of roasted garlic and a splendid dose of garlicky, Sichuan peppercorn chile oil, which delivers heat and a tingling sensation with every spoonful. Roasting the sweet potatoes at a high temperature does a few things in this recipe: First, it develops the sweet potato's flavors, and second, it softens the tubers, yielding a smooth texture. Serve this soup with thick slices of buttered, toasted bread to sop it up.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head of garlic
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Fine sea salt
1/2 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed
2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes, such as Aleppo
2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns, crushed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove some of the excess paper from the head of garlic, leaving the bulb intact. Rub the bulb with 2 teaspoons oil and place it in the center of a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, onion and cumin seeds with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast until the sweet potatoes are slightly caramelized and tender and the garlic has softened, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest until the vegetables are cool enough to handle, about 8 minutes.
  • While the vegetables roast, prepare the chile oil: In a small saucepan over medium, heat the neutral oil, taking care not to burn it. (Measure the oil's temperature with a thermometer; it should read about 325 degrees. You could also test the temperature with a Sichuan peppercorn: It should sizzle when tossed in.)
  • Once the oil is hot, remove it from the heat, add the red-pepper flakes, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns. Cover with a lid and let steep for at least 20 minutes. (The oil can be prepared a day ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
  • Transfer the cooked sweet potato mixture to a blender. Squeeze the softened garlic pulp out of the cloves and add the pulp to the blender. Add 1/4 cup stock to the baking sheet and scrape off any bits that have stuck to the pan. Add the stock and bits to the blender. Add the remaining stock, the black pepper and turmeric to the blender and purée on high speed until smooth and creamy. Taste and add salt as needed. Transfer the soup to a medium saucepan and rewarm over low as needed.
  • Divide the soup among bowls. Give the chile oil a stir and drizzle the soup with a generous tablespoon or two. Serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO & GINGER SOUP



Sweet Potato & Ginger Soup image

This is a recreation of a soup I was served at a wonderful restaurant in downtown Greensboro, NC. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes combined with the fragrant ginger, earthy cumin, and spicy cayenne give this soup a deep flavor with multiple levels of warmth. If an immersion blender is not available, soup maybe be blended in a regular blender in small batches.

ROASTED GARLIC SWEET POTATOES



Roasted Garlic Sweet Potatoes image

These sweet potatoes are prepared similar to roasted garlic mashed potatoes. The sweet potatoes add an interesting creamy and sweet dynamic that is balanced out with sour cream, cream cheese, and--of course--roasted garlic...mmm.

Provided by Kelly

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet potatoes
2 heads garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
¾ cup light sour cream
½ cup reduced-fat cream cheese
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork or the tip of a paring knife; set aside. Cut off the top of the heads of garlic to expose the cloves, trimming about 1/4 inch off of the top of each clove. You may need to trim individual cloves along the sides of each head. Brush the cut cloves with the olive oil, then nestle each head into a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Place the sweet potatoes and garlic cloves directly on the oven racks. Bake for about 1 hour, removing the sweet potatoes once they have softened, and removing the garlic heads once they are tender and nicely browned.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes, and place into a mixing bowl. Squeeze the individual garlic cloves into the bowl, then add the butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and cayenne pepper. Mash until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Scrape the mashed potatoes into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, and return to the oven for about 15 minutes to reheat.

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 sweet potatoes (about 1.2kg), peeled
2 tbsp olive oil
sliced red onions, unpeeled garlic cloves, thyme sprigs or other veg or herbs of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Chop the sweet potatoes into 2-3cm cubes.
  • Tip into a large, shallow roasting tin, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. If you're adding additional veg or herbs, such as sliced red onions, garlic cloves and thyme, tip these in as well. Toss everything together to coat in the oil, then roast for 20 mins. Toss again to ensure the potatoes cook evenly, and roast for another 15-20 mins until the potatoes are lightly browned on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork or knife.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and smooth sweet potatoes without blemishes or bruises. Avoid any that are soft or have signs of sprouting.
  • Roast the garlic and ginger: Roasting the garlic and ginger intensifies their flavor and adds a slightly smoky note to the soup. Be sure to let them cool slightly before handling.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add the sweet potatoes to the pot, make sure they are in a single layer. If they are overcrowded, they will not cook evenly.
  • Simmer the soup until the sweet potatoes are tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes. You can check the potatoes by piercing them with a fork. They should be soft all the way through.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for roasted garlic ginger sweet potato soup include croutons, bacon bits, shredded cheese, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic ginger sweet potato soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and sweet and savory flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
