Hearty Spicy Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup

This soup features creamy sweet potatoes blended with chipotle peppers, garlic, and spices for a rich and smoky flavor. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (adjust to taste)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes, chipotle peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and mix it back in.
Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
