Ingredients

Method

Preheat oven to 425°F; grease rimmed baking sheet. In large bowl, toss together sweet potatoes and half of each of the oil, salt and pepper. Spread in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until tender and lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, in Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat remaining oil over medium heat; cook onion and celery, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, 1/2 tsp of the cardamom and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring, for 1 min­ute. Pour in 1 cup of the broth; cook until celery is softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in roasted sweet potatoes.

Working in batches, in blender, purée soup with remaining broth until smooth. Scrape into clean Dutch oven. Stir in remaining salt and pepper and 4 cups water; cook over medium heat until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
Div­ide among bowls.

In separate bowl, beat cream with remaining cardamom until thickened; dollop onto soup. Top with pistachios.
