Scrumptious.
This soup, my friends, is amazing! I LOVE it. My mom made this dish a week ago when we drove through Little Rock and I was so impressed, I couldn't wait to make it myself. At first taste, you aren't sure whether it's made with squash, pumpkin or sweet potatoes. This mixture of ingredients is divine! Mom acquired the recipe at a recent cooking demonstration at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute.We made a couple of slight adjustments.
Sweet Potato Soup with Rosemary
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock/broth
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped fine + more for garnish
1 shallot, chopped
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp maple syrup
3 Tbsp mascarpone + some for garnish
Salt & pepper to taste
You wouldn't believe the deliciousness that this combo produces.
Peel the potatoes.
Cut into cubes.
Place stock in big pot over high heat.
Add the potatoes, shallots and rosemary and bring to a boil.
Boil until very tender. Turn the heat to low or off.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter with maple syrup, salt & pepper...
... and the yummy mascarpone.
(I can't help but pronounce that word like Giada...very enunciated! :)
Add the mixture to the potatoes.
And puree it all together! Fun!
This is when I love having an immersion blender.
Place into bowls and top with a bit of mascarpone, a sprig of rosemary and salt & pepper.
Amazing!
This makes 4 regular-size servings and would make about 8 ramekin-size servings, which would be a perfect start to a meal.

That looks divine! I'm adding it to my meals next week!
This looks good. Was it more sweet or savory?
Hey Colleen! I would say more on the sweet side. It's not something you would want to eat a lot of at once because it's so rich, so this is good to combine with something else, I think.
I LOVE sweet potatoes! Can't wait to try this one!
Kendall,
I made this over the weekend and it was divine! I didn't have an immersion blender so I used a potato masher and that worked just fine. I used a little more broth, but it has still thickened up and was an awesome side for Monday night's dinner. Keep em coming!
