Directions:Prick sweet potatoes with a fork. Microwave on High until just cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion & cook, stirring, until it just begins to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic & cook for 1 minute more. Stir in juice, green chiles, ginger & allspice. Adjust the heat so the mixture boils gently; cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes & chop into bite-size pieces. Add half to the pot. Place the other half in a blender along with broth and peanut butter. Puree until completely smooth. Add the puree to the pot and stir well to combine. Thin the bisque with water, if desired. Season with pepper. Heat until hot. Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Make Ahead Tip: Cover & refrigerate for up to 3 days. Thin with water before reheating, if desired. |
