Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup butter
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 onion, chopped
½ cup red lentils
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
4 cups vegetable broth
plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Place the chopped sweet potatoes, carrots, apple, and onion in the pot. Stir and cook the apples and vegetables until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the lentils, ginger, ground black pepper, salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and vegetable broth into the pot with the apple and vegetable mixture. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils and vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
  • Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Return the pureed soup to the cooking pot. Bring back to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes. Add water as needed to thin the soup to your preferred consistency. Serve with yogurt for garnish.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia onion
8 sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 quarts apple cider
9 McIntosh apples, coarsely chopped
5 Gala apples, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons peeled and chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons black peppercorns, cracked
1 1/4 tablespoons mace
1 tablespoon whole cloves, cracked
2 cinnamon sticks or 1 tablespoon Saigon cinnamon
5 star anise, cracked
2 medium or 1 large sweet potatoes
2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more, for roasting
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large egg
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups sugar
10 star anise, cracked
1 vanilla bean
2 fresh quince, peeled
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
6 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 fresh dates, pitted and cut into slivers
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped into soft peaks

Steps:

  • Prepare the Spiced Apple Cider: In a large pot, combine apple cider, apples, ginger, peppercorns, mace, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise. Bring to a simmer; cook until apples break down, about 2 hours. Allow to cool overnight; pour through a strainer lined with cheesecloth.
  • Prepare the Sweet Potato Puree: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap sweet potatoes in parchment-lined aluminum foil, and place over a bed of salt on a baking sheet; bake until soft, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool.
  • Using a spoon, remove flesh into a bowl, and stir in 2 teaspoons of salt. Pass through a food mill, fitted with a fine disc, into a medium bowl. You'll need 1 cup of puree for the dumplings.
  • Form a well in center of puree. Add flour, egg, and sugar; mix until incorporated. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip; set aside.
  • Prepare the Poached Quince: In a medium saucepan, combine 6 cups water, sugar, star anise, and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a simmer. Add quince, and cover with a parchment paper round; weight with a small heatproof plate to keep the quince submerged. Poach until tender, testing with a knife, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • When completely cooled, remove quince, and cut in half lengthwise. Discard poaching liquid. Remove core, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.
  • Prepare the Fried Pine Nuts: Heat grapeseed oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add pine nuts, and toss continuously until browned. Add sugar and salt, tossing to coat. Drain on a paper towel. Allow to cool.
  • Just before serving, reheat Spiced Apple Cider. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; squeeze 1/2-inch long tubes of sweet potato mixture into water. Poach for 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, divide quince and dates among six warmed serving bowls. Place a dollop of whipped cream on one side of each bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove poached dumplings and place over fruit; ladle warm cider into bowl opposite the cream. Serve immediately.

Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Return the pureed soup to the cooking pot. Bring back to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes. Add water as needed to thin the soup to your preferred consistency. Serve with yogurt for garnish.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND APPLE SOUP

Categories     Soup/Stew     Fruit     Potato     Side     Bake

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 apple (such as Granny Smith or Empire), peeled and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400° F. Prick the potatoes with a fork, place on baking sheet, and roast until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 10 to 12 minutes. 3. Halve the potatoes, scoop out the flesh, and add to the saucepan. Add 6 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cook until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. 4. Puree the soup in the saucepan using a handheld immersion blender (or, working in batches, a standard blender). Add water, if necessary, to reach the desired consistency. Notes: You can substitute 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth for 1 cup of water, which might add a richer flavor. Also, if you're looking to kick up the cream factor of this soup, 1/4 of heavy cream was all it took to create that silky smooth texture.
