Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

0.25 cup olive oil
2 onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
8 cup stock from Whole Poached Chicken with Bonus Stock, or purchased chicken or vegetable stock
3 large sweet potatoes (3 lbs), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Toppers such as fresh cilantro leaves, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin seed oil or olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add onions, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.

  • Serve the soup topped with cilantro, toasted pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil or olive oil.

SWEET POTATO SOUP (CURRIED KUMARA SOUP)



Sweet Potato Soup (Curried Kumara Soup) image

An easy, creamy soup with just a hint of curry flavor. This recipe uses sweet potato because it is available in the US. In New Zealand they use kumara which is related to the sweet potato. It is a purplish root vegetable that, when peeled and cooked, is a yellow green color and is an important part of the Maori (native New Zealanders') diet.

This is so quick and easy because I can get pre-mashed kumara in tubs in the veggie section of my local Woolworths Supermarket. If it is not available to you prep time will obviously be much longer.

WONDERFUL CURRIED SWEET POTATO SOUP



Wonderful Curried Sweet Potato Soup image

This IS a WONDERFUL SOUP. And look at the list, just a few ingredients! I came up with lots of GREAT ideas for the contest, but when I asked my friends what they liked best, they always mentioned this humble soup! How funny is that? The rum really makes a difference. It is added at the very end, so if you have kids at the table and you're worried about it, just serve them first and add the rum later. You may want to leave it out altogether, but just let me tell you one more time that the RUM IS a LOVELY ADDITION. I use Patak's curry paste which is available in Asian stores where I live. Madras is labelled as a hot paste and Korma as mild. I've also tried a Patak's paste called HOT/TRES EPICE which I do NOT RECOMMEND.

4 -6 tablespoons sour cream (any fat content)
sweet paprika

Steps:

CURRIED SWEET POTATO SOUP



Curried Sweet Potato Soup image

This can be kept in the fridge for 1 day without the coconut milk. Add in the coconut milk when you reheat the soup. The soup will become very thick as it stands. Thin with stock or water if necessary.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 teaspoons curry powder
2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken stock
1 large apple, peeled, cored and grated
1/2 cup light coconut milk

Steps:

  • In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very soft. Add in the garlic and curry powder and cook for another minute.
  • Add in the sweet potatoes, stock, and apple. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes, or until potatoes and apples are very soft.
  • Process with an immersion blender (or in batches with a regular blender) until smooth.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and reheat gently without boiling.
  • Serve with warm pita bread.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes for a more complex flavor. Look for varieties such as Garnet, Beauregard, or Jewel.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat to the soup. A ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a pinch of chili flakes will give it a nice kick.
  • If you don't have any fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the step of roasting the sweet potatoes. Simply peel and chop them, and then add them to the soup pot with the other ingredients.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a side of warm naan bread.

Conclusion:

This curried sweet potato soup is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a cold day. It's also relatively easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. Serve it with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a side of warm naan bread for a complete meal.
