Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup

How to Make Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup

Step One

First, heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook it for a few minutes until it becomes soft and smells sweet. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

Step Two

Next, add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot. Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well so the sweet potatoes are coated with the spices. Add the chipotle pepper start with a small amount if you don’t like spicy food.

Step Three

Pour in the broth until the sweet potatoes are covered. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very soft and easy to poke with a fork.

Step Four

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, turn off the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches. After blending, stir in cream or coconut milk if you want a creamier texture. Taste the soup and add more salt or lime juice if needed. Warm it again gently and serve hot.
