Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 pound butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium-size Yukon gold or russet potato, peeled and diced
6 cups water, chicken stock, or vegetable stock
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the squash, sweet potatoes, regular potato, and water or stock, and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree the soup (or you can put it through the fine blade of a food mill or use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing). Return to the pot and stir with a whisk to even out the texture. Heat through, adjust salt and add pepper to taste.

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.

THAI GINGER SWEET POTATO SOUP



THAI GINGER SWEET POTATO SOUP image

Categories     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove minced garlic
4 cups cooked sweet potatoes (about 1 large sweet potato)
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger root
1 can (15 ounces) coconut milk
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon red curry paste
4 tablespoons minced cilantro
4 tablespoons shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 3-quart saucepan or stockpot on medium setting. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until tender. Remove mixture to a food processor or blender. Add sweet potatoes and ginger, then puree until mixture is smooth. Return mixture to saucepan. Add coconut milk, chicken stock, salt, soy sauce, lime juice and curry paste. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the cilantro. Simmer for 2 minutes more. Ladle soup into serving bowls, and garnish with shredded coconut and remaining cilantro. NOTES: instead of blending the whole soup, only blend the onion and ginger. Leave the sweet potato in small pieces. Use an immersion blender to blend some of the potato at the end, but leave the majority of it chunky, so it's more of a broth soup. Add green peas. Not very hot - use more paste. Add protein? chicken or shrimp

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs: A little bit of ginger, cinnamon, or nutmeg can go a long way.
  • Be patient: Simmering the soup for a long time will help to develop the flavors and make it more creamy.
  • Garnish your soup with something special: A dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of olive oil can really take it to the next level.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato ginger soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
