directions

  • In a large soup pot, over medium heat, melt the butter, then add apples, onion and garlic to pot; saute for approximately 5 minutes or until onions start to soften.
  • Drizzle honey over mixture, then stir in vinegar.
  • Add all spices and herbs (sage through to black pepper) and stir well to combine, then add stock and sweet potatoes.
  • Turn heat to high and bring soup to a boil.
  • Once boiling, turn heat down to medium-low, cover pot, and simmer until the sweet potato cubes are tender (approximately 30 minutes); stir soup often.
  • Once the sweet potatoes have softened, turn heat off and briefly let soup cool.
  • Puree soup, in batches if necessary, in a blender or food processor (pureeing piping hot soup can be dangerous); once done, return pureed soup to pot.
  • Stir in cream and frozen baby peas.
  • Over low heat, uncovered, heat soup through; be careful not to let it boil as the cream could curdle.
  • When completely heated through, ladle into soup bowls and serve.
  • Garnish each bowl with a teaspoon of minced fresh cilantro, if desired.

  1. I think it was the mixed texture, the cream soup with peas. It would have been better without the peas. It was full of flavor and the cayenne powder provided a little kick.
     
  2. This soup has a deep earthy flavor with sweet undertones. We really liked the subtle hint of spice from the curry and cayenne, and the cilantro added at the end really is a nice touch. The balsamic gave the soup an unexpected tang. Over all a darned good recipe! Good luck in the contest! :)
