There are SO many reasons to try this easy bisque recipe I just made. I guarantee it will satisfy your cravings for those fall flavors you've been pining over all summer and it's SUPER easy and fast. Also, it tastes great and who doesn't love sweet potatoes? They're packed full of vitamins and nutrients and still taste good...any excuse I have to eat sweet potatoes, I’ll take!
Here’s the recipe list and method…
Sweet Potato Bisque =
2 lbs of sweet potatoes
2 tbs. chopped green onion (reserve a few pinches for garnish)
2 tbs. chopped sweet red pepper
1 tsp. curry powder
pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
2-2 ½ cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Method =
Using a sharp knife, pierce each sweet potato several times before placing them on a paper towel and microwaving for 10 minutes on HIGH. Let cool for 5 minutes before handling.
Scoop the meat of each sweet potato into a food processor or blender, add 1 ½ cups broth, onions and sweet red peppers. Puree until smooth.
Pour pureed mixture into a large saucepan and add the remaining broth, 1 cup heavy cream, curry powder and salt/pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Simmer over medium-high heat for 7-10 minutes. When ready to serve, garnish with green onions.
This is great with croutons or shredded cheese on top OR you can really go all out and make a yummy grilled cheese sandwich like I did.
Perfect start to the fall cooking season!
