Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 large or 6 small shallots, thinly sliced
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

In an 8-quart stockpot, melt the butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, rosemary and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the rosemary stems. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth and thick. Whisk in the mascarpone cheese and maple syrup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep the soup warm over low heat until ready to serve.
Cook's Note: The soup can also be pureed by ladling, in batches, into a food processor or blender and blended until smooth.

GIADA'S CREAMY SWEET POTATO AND ROSEMARY SOUP

Giada's Creamy Sweet Potato and Rosemary Soup image

From Giada De Laurentis. It's a lighter textured sweet potato soup that is both savory and sweet. I did try it with canned sweet potatoes, and that works too. For a half recipe, I used a 29 oz can of "yams" with the liquid and only 2 cups of chicken broth.
