Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or additional olive oil
- 2 onion diced, large
- 2 leek white and pale green parts only, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 pounds sweet potato peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon cumin ground
- 5 cups vegetable stock low-sodium, or chicken stock
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/3 cup cream or 1–2 tablespoons of butter
- Optional topping olive oil, cream, yogurt, sour cream, croutons, chopped nuts, crispy shallots
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onions, leeks, and garlic for about 5 minutes, until they are soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the sweet potatoes and cumin, and continue to cook for 3 more minutes, making sure to stir frequently.
- Pour in the stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Then, mix in the cream or butter until well combined.
