SWEET POTATO-GARLIC SOUP WITH CHILE OIL



Sweet Potato-Garlic Soup With Chile Oil image

This silky-smooth sweet potato soup features the deep flavor of roasted garlic and a splendid dose of garlicky, Sichuan peppercorn chile oil, which delivers heat and a tingling sensation with every spoonful. Roasting the sweet potatoes at a high temperature does a few things in this recipe: First, it develops the sweet potato's flavors, and second, it softens the tubers, yielding a smooth texture. Serve this soup with thick slices of buttered, toasted bread to sop it up.

Provided by Nik Sharma

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head of garlic
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Fine sea salt
1/2 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed
2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes, such as Aleppo
2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns, crushed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove some of the excess paper from the head of garlic, leaving the bulb intact. Rub the bulb with 2 teaspoons oil and place it in the center of a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, onion and cumin seeds with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast until the sweet potatoes are slightly caramelized and tender and the garlic has softened, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest until the vegetables are cool enough to handle, about 8 minutes.
  • While the vegetables roast, prepare the chile oil: In a small saucepan over medium, heat the neutral oil, taking care not to burn it. (Measure the oil's temperature with a thermometer; it should read about 325 degrees. You could also test the temperature with a Sichuan peppercorn: It should sizzle when tossed in.)
  • Once the oil is hot, remove it from the heat, add the red-pepper flakes, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns. Cover with a lid and let steep for at least 20 minutes. (The oil can be prepared a day ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
  • Transfer the cooked sweet potato mixture to a blender. Squeeze the softened garlic pulp out of the cloves and add the pulp to the blender. Add 1/4 cup stock to the baking sheet and scrape off any bits that have stuck to the pan. Add the stock and bits to the blender. Add the remaining stock, the black pepper and turmeric to the blender and purée on high speed until smooth and creamy. Taste and add salt as needed. Transfer the soup to a medium saucepan and rewarm over low as needed.
  • Divide the soup among bowls. Give the chile oil a stir and drizzle the soup with a generous tablespoon or two. Serve immediately.

POTATO, LEEK, AND ROASTED GARLIC SOUP



Potato, Leek, and Roasted Garlic Soup image

One night I was watching Emeril and he made a garlic soup. I made the garlic soup and enjoyed it, but decided I'd rather have something else in it rather than having to put bread in the soup to make it feel like it had substance. So I took what I knew of the garlic soup and I took what I knew of leek soup and a smashed them together.

YUKON GOLD POTATO SOUP WITH CHIVE OIL, BEET REDUCTION AND SWEET GARLIC CONFIT CROUTONS



Yukon Gold Potato Soup with Chive Oil, Beet Reduction and Sweet Garlic Confit Croutons image

Provided by Doreen Fang

Time 10h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Kosher salt
3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and medium diced
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large white onion, peeled and medium diced
3 shallots, peeled and medium diced
3 carrots, peeled and medium diced
2 quarts vegetable stock
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup half-and-half, or more as needed
1/2 cup heavy cream, or more as needed
Freshly ground white pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
1 head garlic, cloves peeled
1 loaf country French bread, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chive Oil, recipe follows
Beat Reduction, recipe follows
4 chives, finely chopped, for garnish
1 bunch fresh chives
3/4 cup canola oil
3 large beets, peeled and diced small
Water
1/2 small lemon, juiced and strained (no pulp)

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large stock pot of salted cold water. Cover and bring to boil over medium heat. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until tender. Once the potatoes are cooked, pour them into a strainer, removing all of the water. Put them back into the original pot. If there is still a lot of excess water in the potatoes, put the pot over low heat, shaking the pot so the potatoes dry off but not burn. Turn off the heat, cover and keep warm.
  • In a large stock pot, over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon canola oil. When the butter has melted, add the onions, shallots and carrots. Turn the heat down to medium-low, and cook the vegetables until they soften, without burning or caramelizing. Saute for approximately 5 minutes, then add 2 quarts of vegetable stock. Keep the stock at a low simmer for about 30 minutes. Taste the stock and season with kosher salt and black pepper, to taste.
  • While stock is cooking, make Garlic Confit for croutons:
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add canola oil and whole peeled garlic. Allow to cook until very tender to the touch, about 30 to 45 minutes. It should be like roasted garlic where you can smash and spread it. Allow the garlic to cool a bit then remove garlic cloves from oil and smash the garlic making it look like a puree. Set aside.
  • Pour half of the stock into the pot of cooked potatoes. Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, puree the potatoes. Continue to add stock accordingly until the puree is thick but still pourable. Make sure the whole mixture is smooth. If the soup is still too thick, add more stock. Strain the soup in a fine mesh sieve; this is going to help remove the starchy, grainy feel from the potatoes. Strain the soup at least twice to get a nice smooth texture.
  • Add the strained soup to a fresh clean pot and put it over medium-low heat. Whisk in the 1 cup of the half-and-half, 1/2 a cup of heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of butter. (This is where your palette is going to come into play, you can make this as smooth and buttery as you want.) Season with kosher salt and white pepper. Keep whisking and stirring, so as not to let the soup burn. Lower the heat and keep the soup warm.
  • To make the garlic croutons:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush the garlic oil on both sides of the bread slices. Arrange them on a sheet pan and put in the oven to toast on both sides. Remove from oven and spread prepared garlic confit on top.
  • Assembly: Using a 4-ounce ladle, pour a ladle of soup into each bowl and squeeze a nice large circle of chive oil around the soup. Squeeze another large circle of beet reduction directly on top of the chive oil. Put 1 garlic crouton in the middle of each bowl. Garnish the croutons with a sprinkle of finely chopped chives.
  • Fill a bowl with ice and water. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water is at a boil, hold the bunch of chives with a pair of tongs. Put the chives into the water for 3 seconds and immediately remove to the ice water. Drain and dry the chives with a paper towel.
  • In a blender add chives and oil and puree until smooth and thoroughly blended. Allow the mixture to sit overnight, then strain to remove any chive particles. Strain again through 4 layers of cheesecloth. Pour into a squeeze bottle and when ready to use, put the bottle into hot water to bring to room temperature.
  • Puree the beets with a little bit of water in blender. Strain through a mesh strainer into a saucepan. Heat beet juice slowly over low heat and add the lemon juice. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and put it into a squeeze bottle.

  • Add spring garlic and heavy cream and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water together to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the soup, and bring to a boil to thicken. Thickness of the soup will depend on starchiness of potato. When soup reaches desired thickness, add cheese. Thoroughly melt cheese and serve.

Roasted Cauliflower Potato Leek and Garlic Soup image

This soup is made from roasted vegetables that are easily found in Winter, just the time you're craving something creamy and comforting. I love creamy soups so I used cream, but this would be great with low fat milk or extra stock and no dairy.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion
1 cup chopped peeled potato
2 medium cloves garlic, 1 minced and 1 thinly sliced
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups diced peeled sweet potato
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Thinly sliced fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, garlic, cayenne, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 3 1/2 cups of water and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the sweet potato, bring back to a simmer and cook until both potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).

Swirl the pan as the garlic becomes fragrant and turns golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the toasted garlic from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve with garlic oil.
  • Reheat the soup if necessary, and adjust the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper. Stir in the butter off the heat right before serving.

COLD GARLIC POTATO SOUP



Cold Garlic Potato Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Garlic     Potato     Quick & Easy     Summer     Chill     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 3 1/2 cups, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup finely chopped white part of leek, washed well and drained
4 large garlic cloves, chopped coarse
1 tablespoon olive oil
a 1/2-pound russet (baking) potato
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan cook the leek and the garlic with salt and pepper to taste in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the leek just begins to soften, add the potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, and the broth, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potato is very tender. In a blender purée the mixture in batches, transferring the soup as it is puréed to a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Let the soup cool, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until it is cold, stir in the cream, the chives, and salt and pepper to taste, and divide the soup between 2 bowls.

Tips:

  • For a smoother soup, blend the mixture until completely smooth before adding the milk and cheese. This will help to remove any lumps from the potatoes and garlic.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to puree the soup. Just be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending, and blend in batches if necessary.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, cook the potatoes and garlic according to the recipe instructions. Then, let the soup cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through.
  • For a vegan version of this soup, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the butter and cheese. You can also add a can of white beans or chickpeas for extra protein.

Conclusion:

This garlic potato soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it thick or thin, creamy or chunky, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a warm and hearty soup, give this garlic potato soup a try.
