Suddenly Sweet Potato Soup

Recipe Ingredients

1 tablespoon	15ml	Olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Onions - chopped (medium)
1		Serrano chile pepper (or jalapeño) - more or less,
		To taste, sliced thinly
6 cups	1422ml	Vegetable or chicken stock
3 cups	438g / 15oz	Sweet potatoes - peeled, chopped (large)
		Thyme, ideally fresh branches of it
		But dried is fine so long as you crush it
		Between your palms adding it to the pot
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
		Sausage - (optional)
		Juice of 1 lemon
1		Curls lemon zest curls - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

In a large saucepan, saute the onion until golden. Toss in the sliced hot pepper, then pour in the stock and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and thyme, reboil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When the potatoes are cooked, puree -- solids first -- then pour back into the saucepan and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Hot only: If you would like a hearty, meat soup, separately saute fresh mild sausage or saute thin rounds of a hard garlicky sausage until crisp.

When ready to serve, stir in the lemon juice then ladle the soup -- either piping hot or chilled -- into bowls. Spoon in sausage, if applicable. Top with lemon curls.

Serve this hot to 6 to 8 people as a terrific start to a Caribbean or Mexican meal, good both hot and cold.
