Ingredients

Mashed sweet potatoes:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chipotle chile puree
5 large sweet potatoes boiled until just cooked through and peeled
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Combine the butter, milk, cream and chipotle puree in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.

While the potatoes are hot, run them though a ricer into a large bowl. Add the warm milk mixture, syrup, honey, cinnamon and salt and pepper and mix until combined.

Sweet Potato Soup:

3 cups leftover mashed sweet potatoes
1 1/2 to 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo puree
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Blue Corn tortilla chips, coarsely crushed, for garnish

Whisk together the mashed potatoes, 1 1/2 cups of the broth, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Whisk in the 1/4 cup creme fraiche and more broth, if needed, and cook for 5 minutes.

Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of creme fraiche and chipotle puree in a small bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of the creme fraiche, some cilantro leaves and some of the tortilla chips.

Modifications to cut the sweet
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This recipe was way too sweet for me so I made some modifications (I'm not a lover of the sweet potato casserole for... Th'giving but make it for my kids who like it, and had leftovers I thought I'd use). Instead of the chipotle with adobo, I used Chinese chili garlic paste which I had on hand; then it needed some onion flavor so I added a sauteed shallot--with those additions it was better but still too sweet. thought adding some acid would help, so I boiled 1/2 to 2/3 cup dry white wine (to burn off the sharp alcohol taste) and added that. With those improvements, it was pretty good, but still wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Read more

Visually Feasting!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can just look at this recipe and discern how rich it will be! It could appear like Mr. Flay and Paula Deen have joined... forces! I am re-visiting a childhood love for sweet potatos. As an adult, I have learned how healthy they are, and for that reason, I appreciate this recipe. However, I wish Mr. Flay were to consult ME about cooking with chicken broth, because chicken soups are among my relatively few 'signature dishes!' JanetRead more
