Sweet Potato Soup

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/3 cups	315ml	Thinly sliced leeks, white part only
3 1/2 cups	829ml	Chicken broth - or more as needed
4 lbs	1816g / 64oz	Sweet potatoes - peeled, and
		Cut into 1/2" cubes
		Juice from two limes
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1/4 cup	4g / 0.1oz	Chopped cilantro

Recipe Instructions

Put the leeks and 1/2 cup of the chicken broth in a large pot. Bring to a simmer, and cook 1 minute over moderately-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook 4 more minutes. Add 6 cups of water, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 25 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, adding as much of the additional chicken broth as you need to make a soup consistency. Return it to the pot and stir in the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Reheat.

Serve in warm bowls, garnishing each serving with a little chopped cilantro.

This recipe yields 12 servings.
