Best Roasted Sweet Potato Lime And Chipotle Soup With Sweet Potato Chips Recipes

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH HAM HOCKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in the center of the oven and bake until fully cooked, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. To check for doneness, pierce one with the tip of a small knife; it should slide in and out easily. Set the potatoes aside until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, place the chicken stock, ham hock and 1 cup water in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, adding more water if the liquid runs low, until the tough skin of the ham hock softens, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the ham hock and transfer to a flat surface. Peel away or use a knife to cut off the tough skin. Discard the skin and cut the meat beneath it into smaller pieces. Put the meat back into the stock and simmer gently over low heat so the meat flakes and flavors the liquid. You want to end up with 1 to 1 1/2 cups meaty, flavorful liquid. Keep warm.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns a light brown color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, orange zest and juice and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and break the flesh into chunks; put the chunks into a large pot. Add the coconut milk and 1 cup water and simmer over medium heat, 5 to 8 minutes. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in small batches in a blender. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the brown butter and ham and liquid. Taste for seasoning. If the soup needs more flavor, add salt, pepper, a pinch of brown sugar or more orange zest.

SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Peel sweet potatoes and slice into thin rounds. Heat oil in a shallow pan. Place enough chips to cover the bottom of the pan. Be sure to keep the flame low enough so as not to burn the oil, but high enough as to not let the oil cool down. Turn chips once or twice, being sure to brown on both sides. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Lightly salt and serve.

POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Peel all of the potatoes and slice them thinly using a mandolin. Place the slice on a kitchen towel and make sure to dry them off. This will prevent the oil from spattering from the excess moisture of the potatoes.
• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or a fryer, to 350 degrees F.
• Slowly add the potato slices and fry for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Quickly remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. While the chips are still hot, sprinkle the salt over the chips.
• Serve while still hot with your favorite dressing or condiment.
