Directions
Jalapeno Sweet Potato Soup,This is a great soup with a twist. It makes a great evening meal during fall and winter. It is from the Peach Tree Tea Room Cookbook.,I tried making this soup again (I forgot I had made it previously) and found it to be 100% better the second time. Perhaps my jalapeno peppers were not as strong on vinegar as the first try? This time, I cut the recipe in half (just in case the recipe wasn’t great) and used 3 cups homemade chicken stock to which I had added too much garlic when making it and 1 cup water to dilute it a bit, as it was very strong on the garlic. I then skipped adding the garlic called for in the recipe. Otherwise, I tried my best to stick to the recipe with the exception of using 2 strips bacon rather than 1.5 strips. I did chop up the bacon quite small, and that avoided the blubbery texture I would expect from bacon not fried crisp. (That worked out well.) The texture of the soup was very good having used a potato masher this time. (used an imersion blender the first time.) I tasted it when fresh, then refrigerated it overnight. That overnight refrigeration really made the flavor improve. I think I may have overloaded a bit on the cilantro, but sitting overnight alleviated that error. I’m giving it 5 stars this time, since following the recipe more closely made a much better soup than my first try where I had not been as careful. I think the homemade chicken stock really helped it as well. (It always does.),It was OK, not great. I followed the recipe exactly except didn’t use bacon. It makes a lot, which I like. My stock pot was about 3/4 full.
