Grilled Sweet Potato Soup
Software:

- 1 medium red onion
- 1 "section" fresh ginger
- olive oil
- kosher salt, please
- fresh cracked pepper
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp allspice (grind it yourself)
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper - yeah right :)
- 1/4 cup 1/2 and 1/2
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp lime juice and the zest from the lime
- cigar for the cook
- beverage for the cook
Hardware:

Chop the sweet potatoes into half-inch rounds. Chop the onion likewise. Peel the ginger root but do not chop it - it's grilled whole. The onion and potatoes don't need to be too small, because the motorboat will make soup out of everything at the last step.
Grill the sweet potatoes, ginger, and onion on medium heat for 12 minutes, 6 per side. after 12 minutes, finely chop the ginger. Add potatoes, ginger, onion, stock, allspice, and cayenne to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 30 minutes.
Let soup cool for 15 minutes. Then motorboat the soup until smooth. Then add 1/2 and 1/2, parsley, lime juice, and zest and heat to serving temperature.
