Spicy Sweet Potato Soup
A delicious and healthy soup of sweet potatoes and spices.
Sophisticated but simple, with a surprise ingredient: peanut butter.
Ingredients
Before you start
A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the soup.
Method
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: peel and coarsely chop them into 2 cm pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook 4-5 min, taking care not to let them burn. Add the sweet potatoes, grated ginger, cumin, Cayenne pepper, and broth. Bring to a boil while stirring often. Lower the heat then cook 15 min, covered, until the potatoes are soft.
- Purée the soup in a blender or food processor. Put the soup back in the pot on the stove. Add the peanut butter and reheat for a few minutes. Pour in the lime juice. Adjust the seasoning.
- If desired, you may garnish each bowl with a dollop of sour cream, diced tomato, and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve.

Subbed regular potatoes instead of sweet. No substitution next time :(

Extremely tasty soup...the little finishing touches added an extra little something and I never thought I would see peanut butter as adding an additional little spicy kick and yet it did. Just enough spices...it really didn't need more. Definitely will make it again as is! Caution! When you put the puree back on the stove to reheat, make sure you keep the heat low! I put it back on medium heat and the soup started bubbling and popping almost immediately even though I turned off the burner while I was pureeing the soup! I ended up burning my palms and arm with hot soup that spit out.

2011-01-23T18:44:08+00:00 january 23, 2011 | I would make this recipe againVery good soup! After reading other comments, I added 3 times as much cumin, twice as much cayenne, some marjoram and thyme. Just right for us! I used 1% yogurt rather than sour cream; didn't have cilantro or tomatoes. I will make again... next time I'll add an apple when I add the sweet potatoes!

I rated this ok because although my partner liked it, I thought it was just kinda boring. I'm not a fan of pureed soups though. I also regret following the suggestion of putting cilantro on top.
