Squash and Sweet-Potato Soup with Chipotle Sauce image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable     Sauté     Squash     Butternut Squash     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lb butternut squash (1 large), halved lengthwise and seeds discarded
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lb sweet potatoes (2 large)
1 large onion, chopped
White part of 1 leek, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
8 to 10 cups light vegetable stock or broth
White pepper to taste
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Chipotle sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Brush cut sides of squash with 1/2 teaspoon oil and arrange, cut sides down, in a shallow baking pan. Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork and roast with squash until very tender, about 50 minutes for squash and about 1 1/4 hours for sweet potatoes.
  • Cool vegetables and scoop flesh from squash into a bowl. Peel sweet potatoes and add to squash.
  • Cook onion in remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons oil with salt to taste in a 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in squash and sweet potato, leek, ginger, and 8 cups stock and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
  • Purée in batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids), transferring to a clean pot. Bring to a simmer and, if too thick, add more stock. Season with salt and white pepper. Finish with lemon juice and, if desired, honey.
  • Serve soup drizzled with some chipotle sauce or swirl sauce in to make a pattern.

Tips:

  • Use fresh sweet potatoes: Fresh sweet potatoes will have a more vibrant flavor and texture than sweet potatoes that have been stored for a long time.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup: Roasting the sweet potatoes will caramelize their natural sugars and give them a smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chipotle peppers, cumin, and chili powder are all common spices used in sweet potato soup, but you can also experiment with other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
  • Add a touch of sweetness: A little bit of honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar can help to balance out the spiciness of the soup.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is an important part of the soup, so it's worth using a good quality broth that has a rich flavor.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro, parsley, or chives can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

Chipotle sweet potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking.
