Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 cup sliced scallion, white and light green part only
1 cup chopped peeled potato
Pinch of cayenne pepper, plus more, for sprinkling
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups diced peeled sweet potato
1 cup chopped orange bell pepper
Chopped fresh cilantro and sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the drippings in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the potato, cayenne, thyme, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the sweet potato and bell pepper and simmer until the potatoes and peppers are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).
  • Reheat the soup if necessary, and adjust the consistency with water and seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, cilantro and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
