Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 10m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups vegetable stock, strong dark
3 spring onions, garden fresh
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced very fine
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves or 1 whole clove
1/4 teaspoon ground mexican cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/8 teaspoon mace
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced fine
1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced, fresh, cooked
1 1/2 tablespoons maple pecan syrup or 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 cup soymilk, to consistency
romano cheese (your choice) (optional) or soy cheese (optional)
1/4 teaspoon orange zest

Steps:

  • Take 1/4 cup of the broth and sauté the onions and ginger until tender adding the cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Add the sweet potato, cut fine to reduce cooking time. IF you haven't cooked the carrots with a bit of water and pepper add them now also again cut fine to reduce cooking time.
  • Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are soft. Remove from heat and blenderize. DO not stick your wooden spoon too far down in the blender while running or you will ruin a perfectly good antique spoon and add fiber. This is called stupid at least for this cook. However it might add an extra flavor to the dish if the spoon is seasoned properly but NOT recommended.
  • After pureeing, return to the saucepan and add the soy milk to consistency. You will know when honest. You want a thick rich soup. Taste, add the orange zest then add the cheese, optional btw and taste again then add salt or pepper if you think you need them.
  • Serve heated in winter or chill in summer.

Yield Serves 4 to 6 as a main bowl

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon Cardamom Spice Blend
5 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 medium Idaho potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
8 cups Chicken Stock for Asian Bowls [or other chicken stock]
2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, in pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
lime slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonreactive stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, ginger, spice blend, carrots, red pepper, and potatoes. Stir to coat the vegetables with the spices and then sauté until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

Stir in the lime juice and parsley; add the butter and salt and pepper, and heat until the butter is melted. Serve in individual bowls, each garnished with a lime slice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes and carrots. Look for sweet potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin and carrots that are firm and brightly colored.
  • Peel and chop the vegetables evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic in a little bit of oil until they are softened and fragrant.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, carrots, vegetable broth, and spices to the pot and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth and creamy.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil.
