Sweet Potato Soup
6 servings
Ingredients
4 slices
of bacon, chopped
1 medium Vidalia onion, chopped
1 large
carrots, peeled and chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 Granny Smith
apple, peeled, cored and chopped
2-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes,
peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh
oregano leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped,
plus more for garnish
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts chicken
stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/3 cup sour
cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Using
a large saucepan over medium high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Using
a slotted spoon, remove bacon and drain on a plate lined with paper
towel, set aside. Saute onion, carrot, celery, apple and sweet
potatoes until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add
garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Using a wooden spoon,
add oregano, thyme and flour, stirring constantly, until flour is
light brown, about 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, stirring occasionally
until soup comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until
vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Using a hand held immersion
blender, puree soup until smooth. Add heavy cream and hot sauce,
season with salt and pepper. Garnish soup with bacon, sour cream and
thyme.
