Best Purple Sweet Potato Soup With Salted Mushrooms Recipes

PURPLE SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• For the soup: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Fry the bacon until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a plate and drain all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the Dutch oven. Reserve the bacon.
• Add the yams, garlic, thyme, onion, oregano, cumin, coriander and then a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions have started to soften and the yams are coated in the bacon grease, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 5 cups of the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
• For the pistachio crumble: While the soup cooks, crumble the bacon and toss with the pistachios, parsley, oregano and turmeric until well combined. Set aside.
• Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Thin with the remaining stock as needed.
• Serve the soup into bowls and swirl in a spoonful of sour cream to each serving. Top with the crumble and some parsley leaves.

SWEET POTATO AND MUSHROOM CARBONARA

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and pass through a spiralizer. You should get about 6 cups of "noodles." Cut the noodles with scissors to make 8- to 10-inch pieces.
• Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper-lined plate, add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the baby kale, red pepper flakes, garlic and some salt and pepper, then cook for 30 seconds just to soften.
• Add the sweet potato noodles and 3/4 cup water to the pan and gently toss to cook the noodles until they are just approaching al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Add an additional 1/4 cup water, if necessary, to "steam" the noodles.
• Beat the Parmesan and eggs together in a bowl. Roughly chop the bacon.
• Turn the heat off under the noodles and add the egg mixture. Toss to coat the noodles well. Top with more cheese and sprinkle with the bacon, lots of cracked black pepper and the chives or parsley.
