Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 celery stick/spear chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 4 garlic cloves sliced
- 4 sage leaves finely chopped
- pinch of chilli flakes
- 750 g (1½lb) sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 4 cups vegetable broth / stock
- 1 cup cream
- salt and pepper to taste
For the sage parmesan toasts
- 1 baguette sliced
- 3 tbsp butter softened
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 tbsp sage finely chopped
- 1 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat, melt a few tablespoons of butter then add the chopped onion, carrots and celery. No need to chop the vegetables too fine, you'll be blending the soup later anyway.
- Allow to cook until the veg starts to soften and turn a light golden color then stir in the garlic, sage and a pinch of chilli flakes.
- Cook for 30 seconds then add the peeled and cubed sweet potato. Pour in the broth/stock and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring the soup to a simmer then cover with a lid, reduce the heat and allow to cook gently for 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are fork-tender.
- Pour the cream into the soup then blend with an immersion blender. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Season to taste.
- To make the toasts, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, finely chopped sage and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Slice the baguette into slices then transfer to a baking sheet.
- Spread the garlic sage butter over each slice of bread then transfer to a hot oven and bake for a few minutes until crisp and golden.
- Serve the soup with a drizzle of cream and crispy sage leaves (optional) with the toasts.
