Chipotle Sweet Potato Vichyssoise

A creamy sweet potato vichyssoise served chilled on warm summer days with a smoky and fiery kick of chipotle chilies.

Today’s recipe is for a creamy chipotle sweet potato vichyssoise which I guest posted on DairyGoodness.ca for their Anyday Magic Dinner Makeover event. Augusts makeover recipe was for a vichyssoise soup that is served chilled, which is perfect for cooling down on these hot summer days! I decided to spice things up a bit with some smoky chipotles chilies and you can find the recipe for the chipotle sweet potato vichyssoise here.

    Sweet potato and chipotle are a great combination, and I bet the richness of that cream just cools it all down.

    More importantly, congratulations on your amazing opportunity working with the Dairy board!!!

    Love it! Sweet potatoes are a favorite fall & winter food of mine, but this cold vichyssoise would be the perfect way to enjoy them during the summer. The chipotle must give the soup a great spicy & smoky kick!
