Spicy Sweet Potato Soup
Spicy Sweet Potato Soup is a smooth and velvety soup that’s similar to a butternut squash soup, but made with sweet yams and Chipotle seasoning.
Servings: 8 cups
cups
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or pressed
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 4½ cups diced yams, or orange sweet potatoes (1 ½ lb.)
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- red pepper flakes, optional topping
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes, cumin, coriander, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper, and stir until the sweet potatoes are coated in the spices and oil.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any cooked garlic or ginger. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer uncovered for 25 minutes or until the broth has reduced by a ¼ and the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the soup from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the potatoes and onions until the soup is thick, like a butternut squash soup.
- Serve hot and top with red pepper flakes and chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
