Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 ribs celery, chopped
½ large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
5 cups vegetable stock
1 ⅓ cups light cream
1 (11 ounce) can creamed corn
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Dice 1 1/2 sweet potatoes and roughly chop the remaining 2 1/2.
  • Place diced sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until barely tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes. Add roughly chopped sweet potatoes and cook 10 minutes more.
  • Add vegetable stock to the stockpot with the vegetables and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until sweet potatoes are fork-tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Mix cream, 1/2 the creamed corn, brown sugar, coriander, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger into the stockpot. Simmer soup for 5 minutes.
  • Puree soup using an immersion blender. Stir in remaining creamed corn, reserved boiled sweet potatoes, and whole kernel corn. Simmer soup 20 minutes more, stirring a few times. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper.
