Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
1 large shallot (thinly sliced (about 1 cup sliced) (can substitute 1 cup diced yellow onion))
1 large clove garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary + more for garnish if desired
1 pound approx. 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
4 ounces light cream cheese (room temperature (see "Vegan Option" below for alternatives))
Optional toppings: A drizzle of olive oil or a few fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Set a medium soup pot over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil and, if using, the butter. When hot, add the shallots (or onions). Saute, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until translucent and tender. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 more minute.
  • Stir in the rosemary, sweet potatoes, and vegetable broth. Continue heating over medium heat until the soup comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 - 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Let cool until it's safe to puree.
  • Using an immersion blender or working in batches with an upright blender, puree the soup.
  • Return soup to pan and add the cream cheese (or alternatives). Whisk briskly over low heat until cream cheese is completely dissolved.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve.

I'm not a big fan of rosemary, so I substituted thyme in this recipe. It turned out great! The soup was still very flavorful, and the thyme gave it a nice earthy flavor.

I made this soup for a party last weekend, and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I think the key is to use really good quality sweet potatoes. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes. I think it would be a great recipe for someone who likes sweet potatoes, though.
