Sweet Potato and Andouille Soup
Recipe from Emril. LINK

INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes
1/2 pound bulk andouille sausage, crumbled, or pulsed in food processor if link sausage
1 cup julienned onions
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 quart chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

I microwave the sweet potatoes, but the recipe calls for baking them. Sometimes, we skip the heavy cream and it is still a very tasty soup.

Coat the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil and place in a small baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes are fully roasted and fork tender. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin from the potatoes. Reserve the sweet potato flesh until ready to use.

Heat a 1 gallon stockpot over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the andouille to the pot and saute until most of the fat has rendered and the meat is well caramelized, stirring constantly, 5 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the andouille and drain on a paper-lined plate. Set aside until ready to use. Add the onions and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the cayenne pepper and chicken stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.

Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the soup and stir to blend. Simmer for 10 minutes, then blend with an immersion blender or in batches in a bar blender until smooth. Return the soup to the pot, if necessary, and stir in the heavy cream. Season with the salt and if necessary more pepper. Garnish with the cooked andouille, chopped chives and serve.

Hey Gris Gris, I wish I had more time to post. This was the 1st weekend back at my house since being flooded out. We are in a FEMA Trailer now and I have been without a kitchen since August. Talk about picking up my spirits being able to cook again.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry to hear you were flooded and I completely get being able to cook lifting your spirits! I hope your place is new and fresh and your kitchen is filled with good things made by your hands for your loved ones!

We sure could use your posts around here, so when you've cooked a bit, remind us of those great recipes!

Your veg soup is in the recipe book, I think. I'm going to check to make sure it's there. It's a keeper like all of your recipes!

Merry Christmas!

Broke out one of our favorites. My wife is a vegetarian, so I do a lot of veg cooking. This soup is delicious, though, meat or no meat.

Chickpea soup with saffron and almonds

3/4-1 cp roasted almonds (best with skinned)
2 cups cooked chickpeas (2 cans, or cook 1/2 pound dried)
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
Olive oil, for sauteeing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp crumbled saffron, or more, if you like
6 cups vegetable stock or water or combo
1/4 cp chopped parsley

1. Coarsely chop the almonds. Set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in large soup pot. Sautee onions and garlic with a large pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Cook until onions start to brown, stirring occasionally throughout. Stir in almonds and saffron.
3. Add stock or water and chickpeas. Mash chickpeas to desired consistency with a potato masher or back of a spoon. Gently heat, stirring occasionally until hot. Taste, and adjust seasoning.
4. Serve garnished with parsley.

We shred some manchego cheese in as well at the table which sets it off. It's a really unique, interesting flavor with the almonds and saffron and the almonds also give it a unique texture. Even better the next day after flavors set a while (what soup isn't?).

Are you draining cans of vegetables or dumping all in? It seems like a lot of water, this isn't too thin?

My friend makes an incredible soup, starts his by browning some tomato paste and sometimes even adds just a little light roux. Thick and hearty.

This time of year nothing beats tomato soup with macaroni, corn bread and sliced onion.

I don't care for thick veg soup myself. Sort of like gumbo...everyone likes it prepared differently.
