Delicious and beautiful -- most people won't know it's sweet
potato!
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, finely minced
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 cups good-quality chicken stock (low salt recommended)
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
Garnish:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp grated lime zest
- juice of half a lime
Directions:
Melt butter in a 4-quart stockpot. Add onion and sauté until soft and tender.
Add sugar and cook 10-15 minutes or until onions are lightly browned. Add
sweet potatoes, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat,
and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Strain the soup and
purée the vegetables.
Whisk the purée back into the broth. Whisk in the cream and jalapeño. Return
to the heat and heat through. Taste and correct the seasoning. The soup may
be refrigerated for several days or frozen at this point.
To serve: Reheat the soup and serve with a dollop of garnish. (To
make the garnish, combine all ingredients.)
