Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds peeled raw sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: chopped honey-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add sweet potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add ginger, nutmeg and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

SWEET POTATO & GINGER SOUP



Sweet Potato & Ginger Soup image

This is a recreation of a soup I was served at a wonderful restaurant in downtown Greensboro, NC. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes combined with the fragrant ginger, earthy cumin, and spicy cayenne give this soup a deep flavor with multiple levels of warmth. If an immersion blender is not available, soup maybe be blended in a regular blender in small batches.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • For a creamier soup, blend until completely smooth. For a chunkier soup, leave some of the sweet potatoes and/or ginger unblended.
  • Add a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream for an extra creamy, tangy flavor.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, parsley, or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat over medium heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

This roasted garlic ginger sweet potato soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. With its creamy texture and sweet and savory flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
