- 2 lbs sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
- 4 cups chicken stock unsalted
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 bacon slices cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese shaved
- 2 TB flat leaf parsley leaves
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and place, cut sides down, in a microwave-safe baking dish. Add 1/4 cup of water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 15 minutes or until tender. Let the potatoes cool slightly and remove the skins.
Boil chicken stock, onion powder, cumin, and red pepper in a pot. Place half of the stock mixture and half of your potatoes in a blender. Remove the center piece of the blender lid (to allow steam to escape). Then puree until smooth.
Pour into a large bowl and repeat with remaining. potato and stock mixture. Add salt and divide among soup bowls. Sprinkle cooked bacon and Parmesan cheese evenly over top. Garnish with parsley.
