ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATO BISQUE WITH SMOKED APPLEWOOD BACON



Roasted Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Bisque with Smoked Applewood Bacon image

I tried out for the show 'Master Chef' this past October in New York City. One of my fellow contestants made a pumpkin soup with applewood bacon. He made it to the next round, but sadly I did not. This is my rendition of his soup. I made it my own by using butternut squash and sweet potato and made it richer by turning this into a bisque. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Please share your comments. For less-fat option substitute half-and-half with milk or nonfat half-and-half.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2 pound) butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 slices applewood-smoked bacon
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup white wine
1 ½ quarts chicken stock
1 ½ cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine squash, sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; toss to coat. Pour out onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, flipping the vegetables once, until slightly caramelized and tender, about 60 minutes.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble bacon.
  • Heat bacon drippings and butter together in Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute onion and butter in hot butter mixture until onion is translucent, 7 to 10 minutes.

  • Stir roasted squash mixture into onion mixture; add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until all vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour vegetable mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return pureed soup to Dutch oven.
  • Stir half-and-half into pureed soup; cook and stir over medium-low heat until soup is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Stir nutmeg into soup; season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top each with crumbled bacon.

TOMATO SWEET POTATO BISQUE



Tomato Sweet Potato Bisque image

I saw this on Good Morning America and it sounded so interesting, I just had to save it to try one of these days! It's based on Carla Hall's recipe book.

Provided by Linky

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped
kosher salt
1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
4 fresh basil leaves
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes, diced
1 quart vegetable stock (or store-bought unsalted vegetable broth, plus more if desired)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the oil and heat until just hot. Add the carrot, celery, onion, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions just turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeno, garlic, thyme, and basil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are nice and brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, then stir in the stock and sweet potato.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Simmer until the sweet potato is very, very tender, about 1 hour. The sweet potatoes should be soft enough to mash easily with the back of a spoon.
  • Remove and discard the thyme sprigs.
  • Using an immersion blender or stand blender (working in batches if necessary), puree until silky smooth.
  • Reheat the soup over low heat.
  • Stir in the cream.
  • For a thinner soup, stir in more stock.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Sweet Potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Roasting the sweet potatoes brings out their natural sweetness and adds a depth of flavor to the bisque.
  • Use a Good-Quality Vegetable Broth: The quality of the vegetable broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the bisque. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add a Touch of Spice: A pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of paprika adds a subtle warmth to the bisque.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives add a pop of color and freshness to the bisque.

Conclusion:

This quick and easy sweet potato bisque is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a chilly day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you serve it as a starter, a main course, or a side dish, this bisque is sure to be a hit. Enjoy!
