Best Sweet Potato Soup From Simply Potatoes Recipes

SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until tender. Add carrots and sweet potatoes and sauté for 10 minutes more until vegetables just begin to soften. Season vegetables with salt and pepper.
• Add water to the pot until it just covers the vegetables (about 4-5 cups) and bring to a boil. Cover the pot. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 30 minutes, until potatoes are very soft.
• Using a hand blender, puree the soup in the pot until smooth. Stir in thyme, brown sugar, nutmeg, cream if desired, and salt and pepper to taste, and heat through. You can later discard thyme sprigs if you want.
• Reheat soup before serving. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

CREAMY SWEET POTATO WITH GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
• Add sweet potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
• Add ginger, nutmeg and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
• Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
• Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

SAUSAGE & SWEET POTATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Mix together the ingredients for the spiced sauce in a bowl. Tip the onion quarters, corn, mango, sweet potatoes and sausages into a roasting tin, then pour over the sauce and stir to coat. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Bake for 45-50 mins, giving it a toss halfway through, until the sausages are cooked through and the sweet potato is soft. If freezing, leave to cool completely first. Can be frozen for up to one month. Defrost thoroughly before reheating in the oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 35-40 mins. Serve sprinkled with the coriander and chilli, if you like.
