Sweet potato soup with goats cheese truffles

When a temperature outside goes down, it means that it is time to make a big pot of a homemade soup. At the moment I am completely in love with this sweet potato soup with goats cheese truffles. It is hearty, healthy and super easy to make.

This homemade sweet potato soup with goats cheese truffles will definitely warm you up due to a generous amount of chili. I always make this warming and delectable dish when I have family and friends staying over during a winter break. This dish is such a crowd-pleaser!

How to make sweet potato soup with goats cheese truffles

MAKING SOUP:

The whole process of making this yummy soup is straightforward. You need to start with adding spices to a deep pot together with oil. Then fry spices for few min and add chopped vegetables. Mix. The next step is to add stock and cook vegetables for about 30 min – 40 min until soft. The only thing you need to do is to blend the mixture until smooth and adjust the consistency to your liking.

MAKING TRUFFLES:

You need to use soft goats cheese for this recipe. Divide the cheese into 8 portions and mix them with spices. Prepare a small pan with oil and three small plates. One plate is for flour, second is for egg and the third is for breadcrumbs. Heat up the pan and then roll each cheese portion into a small ball. Coat each ball in flour, egg and breadcrumbs. Then fry goats cheese truffles on the pan until golden.

TIPS:

• Adjust level of spiciness to your liking. I have added quite a lot of chili but you can add less if you wish.
• Make sure you use a soft goats cheese, not the hard type as it will not work.
• One batch of this sweet potato soup with goats cheese truffles is enough to feed 4 people. The portions are quite generous.

What does sweet potato soup with chili taste like?

The consistency of this healthy and nutritious soup and is creamy and thick, but not too thick. I would call it medium thick. Obviously you do not have to blend it if you prefer chunky soup.

When it comes to cheese truffles they are crispy on the outside and smooth and soft inside. Just make sure the oil is quite hot before frying, so you can achieve this crispy truffle coating.

Flavors are bold with a prominent heat from red chilis and sweetness from sweet potato. But of course this is not all. The saltiness that comes from fried goats cheese truffles brings the whole dish together. All in all, if you like bold flavors, this sweet potato soup with goats cheese will definitely satisfy your taste buds.

How to serve and store this easy wintery soup

I love serving this homemade soup with a thick slice of homemade bread or homemade bread roll like this crusty tiger bread or pumpkin and Guinness soft rolls.

You can easily freeze this sweet potato soup. I pour the soup into a freezer-friendly bag and freeze it for up to 3 months. I do not recommend freezing truffles as they will not taste as good as freshly made.

Servings

Making soup

• 1 kg sweet potato (washed and cut into medium cubes)
• 1 large onion (peeled and cut into medium cubes)
• 2 red chilies (seeds removed, cut into medium pieces)
• 5 garlic cloves (peeled)
• 2.5 litres vegetable stock
• 40 ml olive oil
• 1 tbsp chili flakes
• 1 tbsp paprika powder
• 1 tbsp parsley (dried or fresh)
• 1 tsp black pepper (ground)
• 1 tsp oregano (dried)

Goat cheese truffles

• 150 g goat cheese (soft)
• 1 tsp chives (dried or fresh)
• 1 tsp parsley (dried or fresh)
• 1 egg (large, beaten well)
• 40 g AP flour
• 50 g breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp paprika powder
• 1 tsp parsley (dried or fresh)
• vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

Making sweet potato and chili soup

1. In a large pot, pour olive oil and add spices. Fry spices for 5 minutes.

2. Add sweet potatoes (I have not peeled potatoes but you can if you want), onion, garlic and chilies and mix everything well for few minutes.

3. Add vegetable stock and cook all the ingredients for about 35 minutes. Until all the ingredients are soft.

4. When all the ingredients are soft, use an immersion blender and blend until smooth and creamy. At this stage you can add a little bit more water if necessary.

5. Cook the soup for another 15 min and adjust saltiness according to your liking.

Making goat cheese truffles

1. Prepare small frying pan and set aside.

2. Prepare 3 plates - one for AP flour, one for an egg and one for breadcrumbs.

3. Mix breadcrumbs with paprika and parsley.

4. Divide goat cheese into 8 portions and roll each portion in your hands making a ball. The weight of one ball was about 16g but you can make your cheese balls smaller or bigger. I calculated 4 soup portions, 2 truffles per portion.

5. Roll each ball into AP flour, then in an egg and then in breadcrumbs.

6. Pour oil on the pan and heat it up.

7. Fry cheese balls from each side until golden brown.

8. Serve hot with soup.
