Curried Sweet Potato Bisque

Step 5 The Final Touches

Now that you have your pureed soup, I mean bisque, We need to stir in a couple of final ingredients to bring it all together.

First, stir in a teaspoon or so of cinnamon to bring out the flavor of the curry and add depth to the over all flavor.

Next add a tablespoon or so of Captain Rodney's Mango Fire Hot Sauce.  Any sweet hot sauce would work here, but this is my favorite and I love the flavor and hint of mango that it adds.

Finally, finish up with two tablespoons of light rum, I choose Myers's Platinum White , but let your preference decide.  Using dark rum is an option, but I find it brings too much of it's own flavor to the bisque.  Of course, using any rum is optional, but it really adds a smoothness to the flavor that really brings the bisque together.  Think of the rum as the bisque version of the Dude's rug .

Feel free to adjust the amounts on all three of these ingredients, as they are very much "to taste".  I actually use more hot sauce and cinnamon when I make it for myself, but my wife insists I tone it back for guests.
