âMy garden produced a bumper crop of sweet potatoes and I created this soup to help use them up,â says Kathy Rairigh from Milford, Indiana. Youâll love the creamy texture and flavors of garlic and thyme. Ingredients:
1 whole garlic bulb |
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
2-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices |
2 large onions, cut into wedges |
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Remove papery outer skin from garlic bulb (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off bulb; brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Wrap in heavy-duty foil.
2. Place sweet potatoes and onions in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with remaining oil; toss to coat.
3. Bake garlic and vegetables at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
4. Place 1-1/2 cups broth, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper in a blender. Squeeze softened garlic into mixture; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a large saucepan.
5. In batches, process the sweet potatoes, onions and remaining broth until smooth; add to garlic mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Yield: 10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
