INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds peeled raw sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons Orange Ginger Spice Blend
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering. Add sweet potatoes, then onion and saute for around 7 to 8 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar, and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  3. Add Orange Ginger Spice Blend, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  4. Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. To ‘clean’ the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup. Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.
