Spicy Sweet Potato Soup
This spicy chipotle sweet potato soup is a healthy and flavorful vegan soup with a nice kick of heat! It's wonderfully silky and will really warm you up this fall.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 chipotle chili pepper + 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 heaped tablespoon tomato paste
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your sweet potatoes and onion.
- Add the oil to a pot on medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5-7 minutes or until it's lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add the vegetable broth, water, chipotle chili pepper + adobo sauce, tomato paste, and sweet potatoes. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cover with the lid slightly ajar for 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are very tender.
- Blend the soup in batches until smooth (I recommend letting the soup cool for 10-15 minutes first to do this more safely). Season with salt & pepper and serve immediately. Soup can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
- This soup is moderately spicy as written. If you want a milder version, I suggest using just the adobo sauce. The chipotle chili pepper I put in here was fairly large... the size of the peppers in those little cans can vary.
