Spicy Sweet Potato And Red Pepper Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the sweet potato, pepper, onion and garlic on a baking tray. Sprinkle with the paprika and seasoning, then drizzle with the oil. Toss together. Roast for 30 mins or until beginning to brown.
• Tip the roasted vegetables into a blender (or use a stick blender) with the coconut milk, stock, sriracha and maple syrup. Whizz until smooth. Pour back into the pan and heat until piping hot. Check for seasoning, and pour into a flask. Serve with soda bread or toasted sourdough.

Steps:

• After sweet potatoes are boiled, drain, put back into dutch oven or large pot, add stock.
• Add diced roasted red bell peppers (roast your own if you like), butter & sauteed onion to potatoes & broth mixture.
• Blend until smooth with a stick blender (or regular blender).
• Season to taste, adding sugar if you think you need it.
• Serve in bowls, adding about a tablespoon of goat cheese to each serving.
• Drizzle each bowl with a little hot chili oil, which you can find in asian markets.

Steps:

• Char sweet frying pepper over open flame on stovetop or under hot broiler with oven door cracked to allow steam to escape. Once the skin is evenly charred and blackened all-over, place the pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic until pepper is cool enough to handle. Wipe or scrape the char off the pepper removing the skins. Seed the pepper and thinly slice.
• Heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add the zucchini, chiles, frying peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and saute the vegetables until tender-crisp, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and roasted peppers and allow the tomatoes to breakdown a few minutes. Stir in enough stock to desired consistency - as thin or thick as you like.
• Cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
• Reheat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Serve in shallow bowls with shredded or torn sweet basil and crusty, warm bread.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and lime zest. Set aside in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to blend.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add sweet potatoes, and chicken stock. Season with cumin, chili flakes and ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
• Puree the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender. If using a counter top blender, puree in small batches, filling the blender just a bit past half way to avoid spillage. Whisk peanut butter into the soup, and heat through. Stir in lime juice, and salt.
• Ladle into warm bowls, and top with a dollop of the reserved sour cream, a few pieces of diced tomato, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onion and garlic.
• Cook for 5-8 minutes or until onions are tender.
• Add the red peppers.
• Continue cooking for 5 minutes.
• Add the stock, freshly ground pepper and salt.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
• Put soup through a food mill to remove the pepper skins.
• Return to saucepan.
• Add cream and heat through without boiling.
