Recipe 🍳
- Bake 2 sweet potatoes in an air fryer at 200°C (392°F) for 40 minutes for garnish. Peel and thinly slice the remaining sweet potato.
- Finely chop 2 leeks and sauté them in a pot with butter and a pinch of salt until fragrant.
- Once the leeks are somewhat cooked, add the thinly sliced sweet potato, milk, and bay leaf. Simmer over medium heat until the sweet potato is fully cooked.
- Remove the bay leaf, blend until smooth, strain through a sieve, and return to the pot. Add 100ml more milk to achieve a smooth consistency, then bring to a simmer to complete the soup base.
- In a pan, sauté minced leeks with avocado oil. Add finely chopped sour kimchi and kimchi juice, and cook until the moisture evaporates.
- Add sugar and vinegar, and reduce to a syrup-like consistency. Turn off the heat, let it cool, then mix in chopped scallions to make kimchi jam.
- Using an immersion blender, tilt it to blend the finished soup, creating a rich, cappuccino-like foam.
- Serve the baked sweet potato and kimchi jam in a bowl, then carefully pour the frothed soup over them to finish.

Cooking tips 💡
- To create a rich foam, tilt the blender blade about 15 degrees and blend as if hitting the surface of the liquid.
- When adding scallions to the kimchi jam, make sure to do so after the jam has cooled down to maintain the vibrant green color of the scallions.
