List of Ingredients
Sweet Potato Soup
1/4 cup finely diced bacon
1/2 cup finely diced onions
2 quarts water
3 tablespoons chicken base
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 pounds sweet potatoes (washed, tough ends or spots removed), diced into 1/4-inch cubes with peel left on
2 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons flour
In small saute pan, cook bacon and onions over very low heat until bacon is crisp and onions are tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to large soup pot. Add water, base, brown sugar and sweet potatoes. Boil, covered, over medium heat 11/4 hours or until sweet potatoes break apart and most of the pieces of skin soften and dissolve. Whisk while cooking to break apart sweet potatoes.
Recipe
In medium bowl, whisk together cream and flour. Gradually add to soup mixture, then let soup return to boil. Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, whisking occasionally. This is a very thick soup.
Makes 8 to 10 side-dish servings.
