"Sweet potato soup harmonizes sweet and savory flavors with onions, garlic, leeks, nutmeg, and cinnamon for a delightful blend."
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1 medium leek, white and light green parts only, sliced (see How to Clean Leeks )
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped (1 teaspoon)
  • 1 1/2 pounds (about 2 large) orange-flesh sweet potatoes (a.k.a. yams), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
  • 4 cups chicken stock (use vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Instructions:
  • In a large, thick-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and sauté the onions for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the celery and leeks, continue sautéing for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Prepare the soup: Combine sweet potatoes, chicken stock, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg in a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer uncovered until sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the cinnamon stick, then purée the soup using an immersion blender or in batches with a standing blender.
  • Complete the soup by stirring in the cream and milk. Heat on medium until the soup is warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Garnish with extra black pepper and a dollop of water-thinned sour cream or plain yogurt before serving. Enjoy the dish? Please give a rating and share your feedback!
