Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt
3/4 pound fresh chorizo or other spicy sausage, casings removed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Season with salt and set aside. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cumin and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the sweet potato, chicken broth, tomatoes and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the sweet potato is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach and lime juice and season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with the tortilla strips, cilantro and avocado.

Greens, potato & chorizo soup image

Blend spinach, rocket and potato to make this vibrant soup. The chorizo and red chilli garnish is really special, providing a fantastic flavour contrast

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Starter

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
500g potatoes, cut into 2cm chunks
1.2 litres chicken stock
25g butter
150g spinach, any coarse stalks removed
115g rocket
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
150g chorizo, cut into small cubes
2 red chillies, halved, deseeded and finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Heat half the olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion until soft but not coloured, about 12 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 4 mins more. Tip in the potatoes, turn to coat, season and add about 75ml water. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins, stirring occasionally. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil and continue to cook, uncovered, for 20 mins until the potatoes are completely tender. Leave to cool.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Toss in the spinach, season and cook for a few minutes until wilted.
  • Add the wilted spinach, any liquid from the pan and the rocket to the potato mixture. Use a hand blender to blitz to a smooth purée, or pulse the mixture in a food processor if you prefer a chunkier soup (you may need to do this in batches).
  • To make the garnish, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the chorizo for a few minutes. Add the chillies and garlic, and cook until the garlic is softened but not brown - this will happen quickly so watch it carefully. Reheat the soup if needed, divide between bowls and top with the chorizo garnish to serve.

DRUNKEN SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Drunken Sweet Potato Casserole image

Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without this dish. I've no idea where the recipe came from originally--my grandmother has been making it since long before I was born.

Provided by helowy

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 -4 lbs sweet potatoes
butter
salt
milk
mini marshmallows
1/4 lb butter
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
3 -4 ounces Jim Beam bourbon whiskey

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until done.
  • Skin and mash potatoes while still warm. Add butter and salt to taste. Add milk until the consistency is like creamy mashed potatoes.
  • Put potatoes in a 2 quart casserole dish. Scoop a hollow in the center of the potatoes and create a rim of potatoes around the edge of the pan. Set aside.
  • In a double boiler, cook 1/4 lb butter, brown sugar, egg, and bourbon, stirring constantly, until thickened (1/2-3/4 hour--in my experience it never really thickens).
  • Poor this syrup into the center hollow of the casserole and over the whole top.
  • Line the edges of the casserole with the mini marshmallows.
  • Bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until the sauce is a very dark brown.

Tips:

  • To make the soup more flavorful, use a good quality chorizo. Spanish chorizo is a good option, but you can also use Mexican chorizo or another type of spicy sausage.
  • If you don't have any Guinness, you can substitute another type of dark beer. However, Guinness gives the soup a unique flavor that is hard to replicate with other beers.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or onions. You can also add a can of black beans or corn for a more hearty soup.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a few slices of avocado. You can also serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This drunken potato chorizo soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new soup recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
