Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the squash, sweet potatoes, regular potato, and water or stock, and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup (or you can put it through the fine blade of a food mill or use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing). Return to the pot and stir with a whisk to even out the texture. Heat through, adjust salt and add pepper to taste.

SWEET POTATO & GINGER SOUP
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.

SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH GINGER, LEEK AND APPLE
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.

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.

THAI GINGER SWEET POTATO SOUP
Categories Potato
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Heat oil in a 3-quart saucepan or stockpot on medium setting. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until tender. Remove mixture to a food processor or blender. Add sweet potatoes and ginger, then puree until mixture is smooth. Return mixture to saucepan. Add coconut milk, chicken stock, salt, soy sauce, lime juice and curry paste. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the cilantro. Simmer for 2 minutes more. Ladle soup into serving bowls, and garnish with shredded coconut and remaining cilantro. NOTES: instead of blending the whole soup, only blend the onion and ginger. Leave the sweet potato in small pieces. Use an immersion blender to blend some of the potato at the end, but leave the majority of it chunky, so it's more of a broth soup. Add green peas. Not very hot - use more paste. Add protein? chicken or shrimp
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth, orange skin.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a small pot, cook the sweet potatoes in batches.
- Simmer the soup until the sweet potatoes are very tender: This will take about 20 minutes.
- Add the ginger and other spices towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from losing their flavor.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or a dollop of yogurt before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato ginger soup is a delicious and nutritious soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant orange color and sweet, slightly spicy flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
