Cold Sweet Potato Soup With Tomatoes Recipes

COLD SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Peel onions and cut into fine dice. Peel garlic and chop coarsely.
• Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) cubes. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into strips.
• Rinse lemon in hot water, wipe dry and finely grate half of the peel. Squeeze out lemon juice.
• Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add sweet potatoes, tomatoes, lemon zest, ground coriander and broth and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Spread the bread with butter and sprinkle with ground almonds and a little pepper. Place on a baking sheet and toast under a preheated oven grill or broiler until light brown, about 4 minutes. Remove and let cool.
• Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Let cool for about 1 hour.
• Rinse chives, shake dry and cut into rings.
• Place the soup in a large jar (about 2 liter capacity)(approximately 2-quart capacity). Place chives in a small jar. Pack toasted bread slices (crostini) individually in sandwich bags. To serve, sprinkle soup with chives and accompany with the almond crostini.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes in half, scoop out the seeds and discard.
• Peel and mince half the garlic.
• Combine minced garlic, tomatoes, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a baking dish and roast at 425 F until the tomatoes are shriveled (about 30-40 minutes).
• Cut the sweet potatoes in half the long way, place cut-side down in a dish, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and roast at 425 for 25 minutes (can be done with the garlic and tomatoes).
• Chop the onion, peel and chop the carrots, and chop the celery.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet and cook the onion, carrots, and celery until the onion turns translucent (10 minutes or so).
• Combine onion/carrot/celery mixture with stock in a saucepan. Remove skin from sweet potatoes and add to saucepan. Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop tomatoes and reserve (along with the minced garlic).
• Add thyme, chives, and sage to the soup. Use an immersion blender to process the soup until smooth. Alternatively, remove and process in a food processor (may have to do this in steps if your food processor is not large enough).
• Chop the parsley and walnuts. Ladle soup into bowls. Place a large spoonful of the tomato and garlic into the center of each bowl and garnish the soup with walnuts and parsley. Serve hot.
