Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 sweet potatoes
4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
10 cups water
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup chicken broth
⅜ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon ground cumin
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Roast sweet potatoes in 450 degree F (230 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and slice open, allowing to cool while assembling rest of soup.
  • Saute onion and garlic in olive oil and butter until soft and slightly browned. Add potatoes to pot and saute 1 minute. Stir in flour. Deglaze pan with broth, scraping up brown bits. Add water and sweet potato flesh. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer partially covered for approximately 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. (Liquid will have reduced to approximately 8 cups.)
  • Remove from heat and puree soup in batches in blender or directly in pot with hand-held blender.
  • Return soup to pot and re-heat over low heat. Add buttermilk, nutmeg, ginger, white pepper, thyme, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste, stirring well.
