SWEET POTATO-GARLIC SOUP WITH CHILE OIL
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.

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.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, garlic, cayenne, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 3 1/2 cups of water and bring to a simmer.
- Add the sweet potato, bring back to a simmer and cook until both potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and sliced garlic clove in a small skillet and heat over medium. Swirl the pan as the garlic becomes fragrant and turns golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the toasted garlic from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve with garlic oil.
- Reheat the soup if necessary, and adjust the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper. Stir in the butter off the heat right before serving.
- Serve hot and garnish with the toasted garlic, a drizzle of garlic oil and a sprinkle of parsley.

CHILE SWEET POTATOES
The chef Rick Bayless offers a wonderful recipe for sweet potatoes glazed with an ancho chile paste in his book "Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen." Instead of making the paste, I make a thinner glaze with canned chipotle and some of the adobo they're packed in. The glaze makes a spicy contrast to the sweet potatoes. You can make this recipe vegan by using light brown sugar instead of honey.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish. Place the garlic, salt, chipotles and adobo sauce, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, broth, orange juice and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain into a large, wide bowl, and stir in the orange zest.
- Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-inch lengths. If the sweet potatoes are fat, cut the pieces in half lengthwise into wedges. Add to the bowl, and toss with the adobo mixture until coated. Transfer to the baking dish, then pour on the liquid from the bowl. Drizzle on the oil, and cover tightly with foil.
- Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven until tender. Raise the heat to 425 degrees, uncover the sweet potatoes and baste with the liquid in the pan. Continue to bake, uncovered, until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender and glazed and any sauce remaining in the pan is thick. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Tips:
- When choosing sweet potatoes, look for firm, unblemished tubers that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- To easily peel the sweet potatoes, place them in a large pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Then, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before peeling.
- If you don't have any shallots on hand, you can substitute a small onion, chopped.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and cayenne pepper to your taste. If you like a spicy soup, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it altogether.
- For a vegan version of this soup, omit the butter and cream. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
