Eat For Eight Bucks: Sweet Potato Leek Soup Recipe
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large leek, white part only, cleaned and chopped
- 1 large sweet potato (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks if raw, insides only if pre-baked
- Salt
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- Pepper
- Plain yogurt for garnish (optional)
- Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add the leek pieces and cook until they are very tender but not starting to brown, about 10 minutes (turn the heat down if necessary).
- Add the sweet potato and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir with the leeks for a minute or two. Then pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Simmer until the sweet potato pieces are completely tender, 20-30 minutes. (If you are using a pre-baked sweet potato, simmer for about 10 minutes.) Puree the soup, taste for salt and pepper, and reheat if necessary. Garnish with a spoonful of yogurt and serve.
