Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped shallot
1 cup chopped peeled potato
1 bay leaf
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
3 cups diced peeled sweet potato
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream, as desired
Croutons, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, bay leaf, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and simmer until the sweet potatoes and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and thyme 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 per batch).
  • Stir in the heavy cream and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot sprinkled with croutons.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the shallots to be a bit overpowering.

This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. It's warm and comforting, and the sweet potatoes and shallots give it a nice sweetness. I also love the addition of thyme. It really brings out the flavor of the other ingredients.

This soup was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there were more shallots and less sweet potatoes.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time. I like to make a big batch of this soup on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.
