Category: Soups
Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
4 cups water
4 cups peeled and cut-up sweet potatoes
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or garam masala
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup light or white miso
1 cup cooked wild rice
1/4 cup chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oil, onion, and garlic. Stir, cover with a lid that fits directly over the onions and sweat the onions until soft and transparent. Remove lid and continue to cook until onions start to turn brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside. In a large saucepan combine water, sweet potatoes, nutmeg, cayenne (if desired), and oats. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and cook on medium until sweet potatoes are very tender.
Remove from heat and purée in a blender, two cups at a time, until mixture is smooth and creamy. Purée in miso. Return to saucepan. If soup is too thick, add more water. Stir in wild rice and heat gently for a few minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Sweet potato season is from October to Mid-March, making this soup a wonderful complement to fall and winter menus. Caramelized onions, sweet potatoes, and the sweet yet pungent flavor of nutmeg, or the exotic, Indian garam masala available in natural foods stores or specialty markets, create a heavenly, creamy soup. White miso, a sweeter, lighter miso, is also available in natural foods stores or Asian markets. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne.
