Sweet Potato Soup With Mascarpone Recipes

SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Heat butter in pot on medium heat.
• Add onions and garlic and fry until onions are clear.
• Add potatoes and ginger and fry for 1 minute.
• Add broth and bring to boil.
• Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Puree with hand blender. (I like mine very smooth, but if you want it more lumpy, be careful not to over-blend).
• Add mascarope and stir in until most large lumps are gone but small lumps remain.
• Cook for 2 minutes on medium heat and add salt and pepper to taste. (I added a lot of pepper and only a dash of salt. The amount of salt needed will depend on the broth you used and personal taste.).
• Serve with bread.

CREAMY SWEET POTATO AND ROSEMARY SOUP

Steps:

• In an 8-quart stockpot, melt the butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, rosemary and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the rosemary stems. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth and thick. Whisk in the mascarpone cheese and maple syrup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep the soup warm over low heat until ready to serve.
• Cook's Note: The soup can also be pureed by ladling, in batches, into a food processor or blender and blended until smooth.

SWEET POTATO & BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH LEMON & GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the sweet potato and butternut squash on a baking tray and add the honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Roast for 40-45 mins until soft and starting to caramelise at the edges, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, fry the onions in 1 tbsp olive oil until soft, then add the garlic, chicken stock, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to the boil, and simmer for 5 mins.
• Remove the sweet potatoes and butternut squash from the oven and add to the pan with the stock. Blend everything until smooth using a stick blender. Stir in most of the cream and bring back to a gentle simmer, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To make the lemon & garlic toasts, gently warm the olive oil and garlic in a pan over a low heat for a few mins; the garlic should be softened but not browned. Remove from the heat and mix in the butter and lemon zest until smooth. Leave to cool, then stir in the chives and thyme.
• Toast the ciabatta slices, and top each with a spoonful of garlic butter. Serve with the soup, drizzled with the remaining cream, and some black pepper.

• Return pureed vegetables to the saucepan. Slowly stir in the cream, brown sugar, nutmeg, and butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
