Here's a simple, robust, cold-weather soup that you can make with almost any mixture of root vegetables you have to hand: carrots, parsnips, celery root, turnips, rutabaga, sweet or regular potato. Flavored with garlic, rosemary and bay leaves on top of a saute of onions and celery, it's an earthy, sweet, and warming meal for days where the air has some bite.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic (from 5 to 6 cloves)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a pot, combine rutabaga and sweet potatoes; cover with water by a few inches and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Return pot to medium heat; add butter. When it melts, add garlic and sage; cook 1 minute. Add cream; bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. Return rutabaga and sweet potatoes to pot; mash to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth, orange skin. Avoid any with bruises or soft spots.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to peel and chop the vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When sautéing the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the soup, so use a good quality broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato and rutabaga soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try!
