Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cubed, about 4 cups
- 1 apple peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled, for garnish, optional
- 1 handful croutons for garnish, optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and celery and cook until tender.
- Stir in the broth, sweet potatoes, apple, ginger, curry powder, and ⅛ teaspoon each salt & black pepper.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are very tender.
- Remove the ginger and puree the soup with a hand blender.
- Add heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Top with crumbled bacon, croutons, and chives if desired.
Notes
- Curry powder can be replaced with a cinnamon stick. Remove the cinnamon stick before pureeing.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
- To make this dairy free, replace heavy cream with full fat coconut milk.
If blending in a regular blender, be sure to allow the steam to escape while blending pressure can build in the blender. To allow steam to escape, I gently hold the lid in place ensure it isn't tightly sealed or lightly open the center piece. Cover with a kitchen towel if needed.
