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.

MY SPICED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND ORANGE SOUP



My Spiced Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, Carrot and Orange Soup image

This was inspired by my other butternut squash soup recipe (#402703). The orange flavoring is optional. I use pre-cut, cubed squash when I can find it or frozen squash. You can also use a small fresh butternut squash. (The prep time assumes you are using pre-cut or frozen squash.) I use almond milk in this recipe (I like Almond Breeze) instead of cream or half and half. You can save a little time by roughly chopping the onion and garlic, because the soup will be pureed later. I do chop the ginger rather finely because it is so fibrous, and I don't want lumps in the soup that didn't get pureed.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 ounces peeled and cubed butternut squash (weighed after peeling)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut in 1/2 inch dice (I used one that weighed almost a pound before peeling)
3 small carrots, sliced
1 -2 tablespoon oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
4 cups chicken broth (I use organic low-sodium)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (or more to taste)
almond milk (I use Almond Breeze unsweetened original or unsweetened vanilla)
fresh ground pepper
salt
fresh orange juice (optional)

Steps:

  • If you are using a fresh butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Peel it and cut it into 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger root and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • While the onions are cooking, peel and dice the sweet potato and carrots.
  • Add the cut vegetables and broth; bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook at a gentle boil until the squash is fork-tender, about 20 minutes (but this depends on the size of your squash cubes).
  • Puree the soup in several stages in a blender. For safety's sake, since the soup is hot, do not fill the jar more than about 1/4 full each time, and blend on a low speed, covering the lid with an oven mitt. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream.
  • Rinse your soup pot to remove any small chunks of food and strain it if you like (I do not strain).
  • Heat the soup through again and season to taste with cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and salt.
  • Add some almond milk, a little at a time, to give soup a creamier consistency. (Instead of almond milk or Almond Breeze, you could probably use soy or rice milk or half and half).
  • Just before serving, add about 2-3 teaspoons fresh orange juice (or to taste) to each bowl, if desired; stir to blend into soup.
  • This soup tastes fine when it has been reheated. The soup will thicken as it chills, so you may want to add extra spice right at the start, if you know you will be re-heating some later. You will need extra Almond Breeze to thin it out after it has been refrigerated. I have kept it in the fridge for as long as 4 days and it was fine.
  • You can sub pumpkin pie spice for the ground spices listed.
  • Because the veggies make the broth very flavorful, you can also use half chicken broth and half water (2 cups of each) with good results.

COLD OR HOT SWEET POTATO AND CARROT SOUP



Cold or Hot Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup image

A thick puree style soup tasting more like dessert than Mom's boiled veggies. Modified from the Almost Vegetarian cookbook by Diana Shaw. Note cooking time here is actually cooking time but will vary depending on what you want to do with the soup. Chill adds time.

Provided by drhousespcatcher

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 10m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups vegetable stock, strong dark
3 spring onions, garden fresh
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced very fine
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves or 1 whole clove
1/4 teaspoon ground mexican cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/8 teaspoon mace
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced fine
1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced, fresh, cooked
1 1/2 tablespoons maple pecan syrup or 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 cup soymilk, to consistency
romano cheese (your choice) (optional) or soy cheese (optional)
1/4 teaspoon orange zest

Steps:

  • Take 1/4 cup of the broth and sauté the onions and ginger until tender adding the cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Add the sweet potato, cut fine to reduce cooking time. IF you haven't cooked the carrots with a bit of water and pepper add them now also again cut fine to reduce cooking time.
  • Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are soft. Remove from heat and blenderize. DO not stick your wooden spoon too far down in the blender while running or you will ruin a perfectly good antique spoon and add fiber. This is called stupid at least for this cook. However it might add an extra flavor to the dish if the spoon is seasoned properly but NOT recommended.
  • After pureeing, return to the saucepan and add the soy milk to consistency. You will know when honest. You want a thick rich soup. Taste, add the orange zest then add the cheese, optional btw and taste again then add salt or pepper if you think you need them.
  • Serve heated in winter or chill in summer.

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and gently fry the onion over a medium heat until softened but not browned. Add the sweet potato and carrots and cook, covered, for 10 minutes or so, until the vegetables are soft but still with some bite.
  • Pour in the stock, bring to the boil and then simmer, covered, for 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Pour into a blender and whizz until smooth - do this in batches if you need to. Return to the pan and gently reheat.
  • Season if desired and either stir in the chilli oil or serve garnished with a few drops of the oil.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Carrot

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 TBSP. butter divided
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp+ cinnamon
1/4+ nutmeg (I grate my own)
1&1/2 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3&1/2 cups water (I use less water and more chix broth)
3 cups fat free, low sodium chix broth
1 pound carrots, chopped
1/4 half and half
salt
pepper
sour cream (optional)
chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook until tender.Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Move onion mixture to side of pain; add remaining 2 TBSP. of butter to open space in pan. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 1 minute, or until butter begins to brown. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, water, and broth' bring to boil. cover, reduce heat and simmer about 35 minutes or until veggies are tender. 2. Place half of soup mixture in blender. Remove center piece on lid (to allow steam to escape). Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid to prevent splatters. Blend until smooth. Pour into large bowl or pot and repeat with remaining soup mixture. (you probably can't do half at a time, I don't fill the blender over 1/3 full). Stir in half and half, salt, and pepper. Ladle about 1 cup into each of 8 bowls; top each with 2 tsp. sour cream and 3/4 tsp. chopped parsley (optional, I don't do this, the soup stands up on its own)!
