Sweet Potato Soup with Ginger and Lime

2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon chopped ginger root
3 leeks, dark green leaves removed, cleaned and chopped
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
Pinch cayenne
6 cups chicken stock
1 tsp grated lime zest
1/4 cup whipping cream (optional)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lime juice

A balance of flavours and richness with a low fat count makes this soup a most appealing beginning to the Thanksgiving feast.

Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat; add ginger root, leeks, and sweet potatoes. Sauté until vegetables are softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in cumin, coriander and cayenne and stir together. Pour in chicken stock and grated lime zest, bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.

Puree in a food processor. Return to pan, add cream, if desired, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Season well with salt, pepper and lime juice.

Serves 8.
