Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup

[heart_this] · Jan 20, 2022 · 2 Comments

Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup

A smooth and creamy sweet potato soup with a hint of smoky chipotle chilies!

This creamy sweet potato soup with smoky chipotle chilies warms the body and the soul; the perfect comfort food! It starts out with onions and a bell pepper for vegetables moving on to garlic, chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, cumin, paprika and oregano for flavour and vegetable broth, tomatoes and the sweet potatoes! Everything is simmered until the sweet potatoes are tender before some of them are pureed into the soup, making it thick and creamy. (I like to leave some of the sweet potato chunks in the soup for the texture but you can also puree them all.) The soup is finished off with a splash of lime juice and fresh cilantro. I like to garnish this chipotle sweet potato soup with crema or sour cream pepitas and crumbled cheese!
