Ingredients:
Corn Tortillas - Crisping up some strips of corn tortillas adds a little crunch but keeps this recipe GLUTEN-FREE!
Sweet Potatoes - Full of vitamins 1, B, and C, magnesium, and numerous other vitamins and minerals, sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest foods you can eat!
Roasted Peppers - Roasted peppers add tons of flavor and can be roasted at home or purchased in a jar!
Can of Tomatoes - Canned tomatoes are easy to keep on hand and add tons of flavor to this soup!
Onion - Use, red, yellow, or white - whatever you have on hand.
Garlic - A healthy and flavorful addition.
Spices - The spices here are minimal but can be amped up if you prefer a spicier soup!
Chipotle Paste or Whole Chipotle Pepper - Use one chipotle pepper in adobo sauce or use 1 tablespoon Chipotle Paste made from a whole can.
Corn - Fresh or frozen will work here to add a sweet bite.
Lemon Juice - Lemon juice will help to brighten the flavors of the vegetables.
Cilantro - Always optional because some people don't like Cilantro. Feel free to leave it out or use parsley instead.
Tips for Blending Sweet Potato Soup
- You can use a blender, food processor or immersion blender to blend this soup. A blender will give you the smoothest result.
- If using a blender or food processor, make sure not to overfill. The soup needs room to rise at the top to allow for proper blending.
- Leave the vent off or open on your blender or food processor. If the hot soup is in a sealed blender or food processor, pressure will build and the lid will pop off, spraying soup all over your kitchen!
- Make sure that the vegetables are tender before beginning to blend the soup.
Sweet Potato Soup Serving Suggestions
- Serve this soup with a salad for a completely meal.
- Add one can of white beans to the vegetables before simmering them on the stove. The white beans will give a boost of protein to this Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup and will also make the soup creamier.
- After blending the soup, add a can of black beans and simmer the soup for 5 more minutes. Black beans and sweet potatoes are a match made in heaven!
- Increase the chipotle peppers or paste if you want a really spicy soup!
