SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH GINGER, LEEK AND APPLE



Sweet Potato Soup With Ginger, Leek and Apple image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil or butter
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and sliced
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 1/4 pounds orange sweet potatoes (like jewel yams or garnet yams), peeled and diced
1/2 pound Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 to 1 1/4 pounds tart apples, like Braeburn or Granny Smith, peeled, cored and diced
2 quarts water
Salt to taste
Fresh lime juice and medium-hot chili powder or chipotle chili powder for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, regular potato, apples and water and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to an hour, until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, purée the soup (or you can use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing) until very smooth. Return to the pot, heat through and adjust salt. Ladle into bowls, squeeze a little lime juice and sprinkle a little chili powder over each serving and serve.

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
3 leeks
1 to 2 tablespoons or a nub butter
6 cups chicken stock
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger (about 1 tablespoon peeled and grated)
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
matchstick fries and frizzled leek, recipe follows
canola oil, for frying
2 large yukon gold or russet potatoes (about 1 pound)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 (3-inch) piece leek, julienned
2 tablespoons potato starch

Steps:

  • Peel and quarter the sweet potatoes. Wash the leeks well, and drain. Remove any damaged outside peel, remove the hairy white tips from the end, and cut the leeks into 1-inch slices. Leave 1 (3-inch) section aside to be fried for the garnish. In a large pot, cook the leeks with the butter until soft. Do not brown. Add the stock or water. Add the sweet potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and boil until cooked through, just softer than fork tender. Using an immersion blender, puree the ingredients until they are thoroughly blended. Add the grated ginger, and test for consistency. If too thick, add a bit more water. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper, as needed. Ladle the soup into warm bowls, and garnish with a mound of hot crispy matchstick potatoes and frizzled leeks.
  • Matchstick Fries and Frizzled Leeks:.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) To make matchstick fries: Peel and cut potatoes into matchstick slices. Rinse them under cold water in a strainer to remove the excess starch. Let drain well, and pat dry. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes submerged in canola oil, until they are a nice deep golden brown. Drain the potatoes on a paper towel or absorbent cloth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while hot. To make 'frizzled leeks': Cut the 3-inch piece of leek into matchstick slices similar to the potato. Place the potato starch in a small bowl, lightly dust the leek pieces in it to help prevent them from burning. Fry the strips of leek in the same hot oil used for the potatoes, until they are just golden, about 1 minute Add to the bowl of matchstick fries. Mix them together. Garnish in a little mound on top of the soup.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Peanut or vegetable oil, for deep-frying
3 to 4 sprigs rosemary
3 to 4 sprigs fresh sage
6 sprigs fresh thyme
4 to 6 cloves garlic, separated but unpeeled
2 to 3 large sweet potatoes
Cajun Seasoning, recipe follows
1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Pinch cayenne

Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Begin by putting the oil, herbs and garlic in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Bring the oil up to 365 degrees F, then remove the herbs and garlic with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. They should be nice and crackly at this stage. Reserve for garnish.
  • Using a mandoline, cut the sweet potatoes into matchsticks. Put in a large bowl of ice water to remove any starch. Soak for a few minutes and rinse with fresh cold water until it runs clear. Drain the matchsticks and pat dry in a kitchen towel, to remove as much water as possible. Fry in 365 degree F oil, in small batches, until crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a creamy and flavorful soup, roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the pot. Roasting caramelizes the natural sugars in the potatoes, giving the soup a rich, smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes for a more complex flavor. White, orange, and purple sweet potatoes all have slightly different flavors and textures, so using a mix of them will add depth and interest to the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A little bit of cumin, cinnamon, or nutmeg can add a lot of flavor to the soup. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or a drizzle of maple syrup to taste.
  • For crispy matchstick fries, make sure to cut the potatoes into very thin strips. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to do this. Toss the fries in a little bit of oil and salt before baking them in a hot oven until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • To make frizzled leeks, heat a little bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook them, stirring frequently, until they are wilted and starting to brown. Remove the leeks from the heat and let them cool on a paper towel-lined plate.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and crispy toppings, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
