Nutty Sweet Potato Soup Recipes

SUNNY'S NUTTY SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Prepare the pan and coating. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter generously the bottom and sides of a circular 1.75-quart or an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. In a food processor, add the pecans, brown sugar, sage, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Pulse until crumbly like crushed cookies. Pour into the dish. Over a large bowl, tilt and tap the dish to coat all sides with the mixture. Add a bit more to the bottom of the dish to create a layer about 1/8-inch thin. Reserve the remaining mixture for the top. Refrigerate the coated dish and remaining topping until ready to fill.
• Prepare the potatoes. Microwave the potatoes as instructed on the bag (usually 8 minutes). Once cooled to room temperature, break in half and place in a food processor with the butter, sugar, cream, flour, cinnamon and yolks. Pulse, and then blend until smooth. Taste and season with a pinch of salt if needed. Remove to a large bowl and fold in the egg whites. Pour into the prepared dish, smoothing out the top. Sprinkle the rest of the reserved topping evenly over the potatoes and gently press down to flatten.
• Top and bake. Bake until the edges and top are golden, about 30 minutes. Raise the heat of the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the marshmallows over the top and pat gently to an even layer. Bake while watching until the top is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 4-quart saucepan. Add the garlic, onion, carrot and celery and cook on low until tender and translucent. Add the thyme. Add the sweet potatoes, increase the heat a little and cook, stirring from time to time, until the sweet potatoes are tender and start to caramelize, about 12 minutes. Add the apples and cook another 5 minutes or so, until they are tender. Pour in the beer and deglaze the pan.
• Add 5 cups water and the cinnamon stick and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Allow soup to cool slightly, then purée it in a blender. You may have to do this in two batches.
• Return the soup to the pot, stir in the nutmeg and cream and simmer for 15 minutes. Check seasonings.
• Thread the marshmallows on several bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between them. Ignite them over a flame, just a few seconds, so they're lightly toasted. Blow out the flame and gently remove the marshmallows to a cutting board. Pour the soup into bowls, top each with a few toasted marshmallows and serve.
