Roasted Sweet Potato And Ginger Soup Recipes

SWEET POTATO SOUP (EASY RECIPE!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with non-stick aluminum foil for easy clean up. (SEE NOTES)
• Roast the potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes evenly, in a single layer on baking sheets. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of the oil and honey. Season generously with salt and toss to coat. Roast, rotating pans from front to back and top to bottom half way through, for 25-35 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
• Saute Onions + Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add in the onion, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the ginger and thyme, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add Potatoes + Stock: Add in the roasted sweet potatoes and stock. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked completely and very tender. Add in the orange juice and stir to combine.
• Puree: Using an immersion blender, or standing blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the crème fraîche (if freezing skip this step - SEE NOTES). Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt.
• Serve: Ladle soup into serving bowls. Garnish with a dollop of crème fraiche and sprinkle with walnuts and gorgonzola. Enjoy!

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork, wrap in aluminum foil, and bake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
• Cut the sweet potatoes in half and scrape out the flesh. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot.
• Add the onions and ginger, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
• Add the jalapeño, coriander, and nutmeg and cook for 3 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add the roasted sweet potato flesh and stock to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and purée with a handheld immersion blender or food processor until smooth. Season with salt.
• Divide the soup among 6 serving bowls and sprinkle with the green onions.

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.

ROCKIN CARROT, SWEET POTATO, AND GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat butter and bacon grease in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir carrots and onion in the melted butter-bacon grease mixture until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 the thyme to carrot-onion mixture; cook and stir until thyme is fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds.
• Stir chicken stock, sweet potato, ginger paste, remaining thyme, salt, and pepper into carrot-onion mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sweet potato is soft and flavors of soup have blended, 15 to 20 minutes. Mix orange juice, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and cinnamon into soup.
• Puree soup using a hand blender until smooth; mix in more chicken stock to reach desired consistency. Stir half-and-half into soup.
