Cold Sweet Potato Soup Recipe (+)

Directions

Fill a 5 quart or similar-sized pot with enough water to cover the chunks of potatoes and add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a low boil and place unpeeled potatoes into pot of boiling water.

Cook until tender. Drain potatoes and water from pot using a colander. When potato chunks have cooled, remove potato skins by hand.

Using the same 5 quart pot, add oil, carrots, onions, and celery. Set burner on medium heat. Sauté ingredients until soft. Add broth and sweet potatoes. Bring to a full boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes.

Add seasonings to taste while simmering. Add extra water or chicken broth, if the consistency is too thick. With an immersion blender or food processor, purée until almost smooth.

Allow soup to cool in refrigerator and serve cold or room temperature.

Garnish with feta cheese before serving.
