SMOKY SWEET-POTATO SOUP



Smoky Sweet-Potato Soup image

A puree of sweet potatoes, apple, and leeks gets an earthy spiciness from a chipotle chile coated in adobo sauce-which can be omited for spice-free eaters. The silky Sweet-Potato Soup relies on its fresh ingredients, not heavy cream or butter, to achieve its rich flavor.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced

6 cups chicken stock
1 medium canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

For a spectacular finish, garnish each bowl with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of medium-hot chili powder or chipotle chili powder.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil or butter
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and sliced
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 1/4 pounds orange sweet potatoes (like jewel yams or garnet yams), peeled and diced
1/2 pound Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 to 1 1/4 pounds tart apples, like Braeburn or Granny Smith, peeled, cored and diced
2 quarts water
Salt to taste
Fresh lime juice and medium-hot chili powder or chipotle chili powder for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, regular potato, apples and water and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to an hour, until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, purée the soup (or you can use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing) until very smooth. Return to the pot, heat through and adjust salt. Ladle into bowls, squeeze a little lime juice and sprinkle a little chili powder over each serving and serve.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Sweet Potato Soup Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup butter
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 onion, chopped
½ cup red lentils
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
4 cups vegetable broth
plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Place the chopped sweet potatoes, carrots, apple, and onion in the pot. Stir and cook the apples and vegetables until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the lentils, ginger, ground black pepper, salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and vegetable broth into the pot with the apple and vegetable mixture. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils and vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
  • Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Return the pureed soup to the cooking pot. Bring back to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes. Add water as needed to thin the soup to your preferred consistency. Serve with yogurt for garnish.

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.
