Subdeacon Joe Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I peeled the foil top off a quart of plain yogurt the other day and found the recipe printed on it. Creamy Sweet Potato Soup (12 servings)INGREDIENTS 2 Tbs. Canola Oil 1 Large Sweet Onion, sliced 2 tsp. Ground Cumin 3 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed 1 ½ qt. Chicken Broth 1 ¾ cups, Plain Yogurt 2 Tbs. chopped Parsley or Cilantro ¼ cup Toasted Pumpkin Seeds (optional) ========================================================================================================================================================== DIRECTIONS Heat oil, add onions & cumin and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and broth, BTBRTS for 20 to 25 minutes. Puree with 1 ½ cups of yogurt and the parsley or cilantro. Serve with dollop of reserved yogurt and sprinkling of pumpkin seeds. I'm making it now, will get back to you on it. I'm already playing with it in my mind. Maybe cut back on the cumin a bit and add in some ground coriander and cinnamon. And use some golden raisins or chopped dried apricots as garnish too. Quote

Stubborn Dutchman, SASS # 61363 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I have to admit I am not a sweet potato person but make it with regular spuds add cheese and wow YUM! I agree. Being German, I love potato soup. I make it using Red potatoes. Want a change of taste, use a different cheese. Sweet potatoes just runs a creepy chill up my back. Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Hmmmm....sounds like all y'all have only encountered sweets in that gawdawful marshmallow dish that gets hauled out for holiday dinners and church potlucks. Or cooked to death in syrup. I didn't care for them like that either. Give 'em a try just baked, then seasoned with some butter, salt, and fresh ground pepper. Or butter, a bare touch of salt, and a bit of brown sugar. Edited December 18, 2011 by Subdeacon Joe Quote
Jacknife Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Only thang that goes good with sweet taters ia a good ole fat possum, yum yummmmmmmmmm. Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Mmmmmm..... Creamy, smooth, a bit smoky from the cumin, a touch sweet from the sweet potatoes, and a little tangy from the yogurt. Definitely something to play with. Quote

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I found that sweet potatoes roasted with the skins on until the sugars start to bleed out onto the pan are great. I made them for my mother-in-law when she was dying and couldn't eat much. They kept her going a little longer. Quote
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 My wife cooks with sweet potatoes all the time. They're not just for casseroles any more. The recipe is real close to a soup she made out of Thanksgiving leftovers that started with sweet potatoes as the base. Sweet potatoes, onions, cumin, curry, yogurt, and a few other things I don't remember. Cook it like the recipe says and send it through the blender. Then she browned some savory sausage and cut it into small chunks. It was a very tasty soup! Quote
Noz Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Mmmmmm..... Creamy, smooth, a bit smoky from the cumin, a touch sweet from the sweet potatoes, and a little tangy from the yogurt. Definitely something to play with. I'm a sweet potato fan. I'll try this recipe. On the list of good sweet potato stuff don't forget french fires. Yum Also, sliced raw sweet potatoes are excellent blood sugar regulators for those of us that have that problem. A zip lock bag full goes pretty quickly on the range. Quote

I made this yesterday, but I also put in a pound of hot sausage. I also use baked potatoes. Ever tried that? Edited December 20, 2011 by Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Quote
