Sweet Potato Chipotle Soup


This was heaven for my soul! My kids weren't too fond of it - but I could have eaten it for days! It's creamy, tangy, sweet, spicy and bacony!

Sweet Potato Chipotle Soup

  • 4 cups pureed sweet potato (canned or fresh)
  • 2 cups chicken broth 
  • 2 cups milk (you could use coconut milk too)
  • 1 tsp of orange zest (I use a drop of doterra orange essential oil)
  • 1/4 tsp salt or more (adjust to your liking)
  • 1/4 tsp of chipotle powder or more (adjust to your liking) Knorr brand makes this and you can find it on the Latino foods isle or on the soup mix isle.

Garnish
  • 1 cup diced avocado
  •  Tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bacon (optional)
  • sour cream (optional)

In a soup pot on medium high add potato puree, chicken broth and mil. Stir until blended and reaches a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add orange zest, salt and chipotle. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve and top with garnishes. Enjoy!
