Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup
If there is one veggie that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, it’s sweet potatoes! I always have them on hand to simply roast or throw into a brownie recipe and now, soup!
I had yet to explore a sweet potato soup and was intrigued by the concept. For years I steered clear of soups as I had the false impression that they were involved and daunting to make. However, soups are one of the easiest concepts to whip up as it’s like a blank canvas. You can cater to your personal tastebuds by throwing in whatever you desire and make the flavor as simple or intricate as you like.
What I love about this soup is, everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, involves minimal ingredients, has a hint of sweet from the potatoes, and hint of heat from the adobo peppers, can easily be made in bulk, and perf for any season!

Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup
- Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium white or yellow onion, chopped
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut
- 1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- garnish: cilantro, toasted pine nuts, pinch of cumin
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until beginning to brown around edges, about 7 minutes.

- Let soup cool slightly. Working in batches, transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return pureed soup to pot over low heat and season with salt and pepper. Top soup with a pinch of cumin and garnish with cilantro, toasted pine nuts, and coconut milk if desired.
