Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped shallot
- 1 cup chopped peeled potato
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 cups diced peeled sweet potato
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream, as desired
- Croutons, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, bay leaf, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the sweet potatoes and simmer until the sweet potatoes and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full per batch).
- Stir in the heavy cream and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper.
- Serve hot sprinkled with croutons.
