Sherried Sweet Potato Soup
I stir up a pot of my smooth, spiced sweet potato soup when I want something out of the ordinary for guests. Using an immersion blender will result in a creamier texture.
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 3 cans (14 ounces each) chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup sherry
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Reviews
This recipe surprised me as to how very good it was. It sounded good with some interesting possibilities, but it was truly excellent! I couldn't find my cardamom and since it called for only 1/8 tsp., I made the recipe without it, but I discovered every ingredient added to its exquisite flavor, so I can't wait to make the recipe again with the cardamom. You may think the cilantro is only a garnish, but it truly added its own essential flavor, and putting it in the blender before serving is very important. I don't own an immersion blender, but it will be on my Christmas list this year. I rate this a 10 plus.
