Sweet Potato Bisque
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pound sweet potatoes (about 2 to 3 medium-sized potatoes)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 rosemary sprig
- 5 to 6 thyme sprigs
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons roasted pistachios, roughly chopped (optional)
Method/Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Wrap sweet potatoes in foil and place a baking dish. Roast sweet potatoes for 40 minutes or until softened. Prick with a fork to check the doneness. Allow potatoes to slightly cool to touch.
In a medium saucepan add heavy cream, milk, rosemary, thyme, nutmeg, and salt. Heat to medium and bring to a rolling simmer. (Do not boil mixture because it will boil over and curdle.) Reduce heat to low and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and discard rosemary and thyme sprigs.
Unwrap sweet potatoes from foil and remove the skin. (The skin will be easy to pull off.) Add sweet potatoes and cream mixture to the blender bowl. Cover with lid and blender for 3 minutes or until mixture is smooth.
Divide evenly into two bowls and garnish with pistachios.
