Instructions
- Boil the sweet potatoes: Boil the sweet potatoes in the pot for 20 minutes. The fully boiled sweet potatoes will be soft when you poke them with a fork or a knife. When the sweet potatoes are done boiling, drain the water and add the cooked aromatics to the pot. Add 1 liter of water and the chicken stock cube. Stir to dissolve the chicken stock cube fully, and then use the immersion blender to blend all the ingredients.
- Cook the onion, garlic, and spices: Slice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Cook the onion for 2 minutes in a preheated pan on medium-low heat with extra virgin olive oil. Then, add the dry ingredients and minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute while continuously stirring. When the aromatics are cooked, set them aside.
- Add cooking cream: Once the ingredients are blended, add the cream to the pot and cook on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Stir continuously to infuse the cream and the soup together completely. To enjoy the delicious sweet potato soup, serve with crusty bread, a grilled cheese sandwich, a salad, or croutons.
