List of Ingredients
Sweet Potato Soup
4 cups (1 L) beef, chicken, or vegetable stock
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 bay (laurel) leaf
2 tsp (10 ml) chopped fresh tarragon or 1 tsp (5 ml) dried
2 cups (500 ml) half-and-half or milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Sour cream or plain yogurt for garnish (optional)
Chopped fresh chives, tarragon, or parsley for garnish (optional)
Combine the stock, sweet potatoes, celery, onion, bay leaf, and
tarragon in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce
the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf, puree the soup in batches in an electric blender
or food processor, and return to the pot. Add the half-and-half,
salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer. Garnish with a dollop of sour
cream and a sprinkle of chopped herbs if desired.
