Sweet Potato & Pecan Soup

Not just for holidays, this sweet potato soup will add a sense of luxury to any gathering. Toast the pecans for a crunchy finish.

Directions

Heat the butter in a 6-quart saucepot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are tender.

Add the broth, bay leaves, black pepper and potatoes. Heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Discard the bay leaves.

Add 1/2 cup of the cream and heat through.

Place 1/3 of the broth mixture into a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Repeat the blending process twice more with the remaining broth mixture. Return all of the puréed mixture to the saucepot. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until hot. Season to taste.

Beat the remaining heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently stir in the chives.  Top the soup with the chive mixture.  Sprinkle with the pecans.
