Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup with Spicy Flavor

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup with Spicy Flavor.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious sweet potato soup, grab a large saucepan or Dutch oven and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your chopped onion and sauté it until it becomes soft and fragrant, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Next, add the sweet potatoes to the pot, ensuring they’re covered with enough vegetable broth.

4. Step 4

   Bring this vibrant mixture to a lively boil.

5. Step 5

   When it’s bubbling away, lower the heat, partially cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and ready to shine.

6. Step 6

   Once your sweet potatoes are perfectly cooked, stir in the chipotle peppers, allowing their smoky flavor to meld beautifully with the sweet potatoes.

   Now comes the fun part! If you have an immersion blender, use it to blend the soup until it’s smooth and creamy.

   If not, carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a regular blender—just be cautious with the hot soup! After blending, whisk in some heavy cream and a splash of fresh lime juice, warming the soup through.
