Provided by Closet Foodie

Categories     Low Protein

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large sweet potatoes or 3 large yams
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper (more or less to taste- but be warned, ground chipotle is hot)
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes.
  • Cut each sweet potato into bite-sized chunks (make each piece roughly about an inch).
  • Add the sweet potato pieces, the extra virgin olive oil, cinnamon, and chipotle to a gallon-sized storage bag.
  • Close the storage bag and shake, making sure all of the spices are evenly distributed on the pieces (otherwise you might find out what happens when too much chipotle sticks to an individual piece).
  • Spread out the spiced sweet potato pieces in an even layer onto a baking sheet.
  • Salt to taste.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes, then using a spatula to turn them, place them back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes. If you like them crisper, you can add a few minutes, just make sure to check on them so they don't burn. Serve them as they are, or you can dip them in ketchup like french fries.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes. Different types of sweet potatoes have different flavors and textures, so experiment to find your favorite. For this recipe, we recommend using a combination of orange and purple sweet potatoes.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup. This will help to concentrate their flavor and give the soup a richer taste. You can roast the sweet potatoes in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality chipotle pepper. The chipotle pepper is what gives this soup its smoky flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for chipotle peppers that are dried and smoked, not canned in adobo sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level. This recipe is written for a medium-spicy soup, but you can easily adjust the spice level to your liking. If you want a spicier soup, add more chipotle pepper or cayenne pepper. If you want a milder soup, omit the chipotle pepper or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. This soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include: sour cream, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.

Conclusion:

This spicy chipotle sweet potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold night. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
