This recipe combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich flavors of garlic and onions, creating a comforting dish that's easy to make and sure to satisfy. Perfect for a cozy dinner or as a starter to a larger meal, this soup is both nutritious and flavorful.
Instructions:
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the onions.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes into small, even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onions to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and regular potatoes to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil and aromatics.
- Pour in the chicken gravy. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until it's smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot. Be cautious with hot liquids to avoid splatters.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add salt, pepper, or any other preferred spices to enhance the flavor.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
Tips:
- Make sure to chop the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Roasting the garlic cloves before adding them to the soup can add an extra depth of flavor.
- Using a blender or an immersion blender will give the soup a creamy texture.
- Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added freshness and color.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; don't be afraid to add more salt or pepper.
- For a vegetarian option, you can replace chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
