Sweet Potato and Salsa Soup
Share recipe
Description
A little bit sweet and a little bit spicy - but you can make it anywhere from mild to wild! Although relatively low-fat, low-calorie and high-fiber, it is delicious, flavorful and satisfying. You may choose to only partially puree for a chunkier texture. This soup freezes very well. Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, sourdough croutons, and cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups salsa
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Directions
- 1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until soft and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir sweet potatoes into onion mixture until potatoes are coated completely.
- 2. Mix broth into potato mixture, bring to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir salsa, salt, and black pepper into soup.
- 3. Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return to saucepan over medium-low heat; when soup is hot, stir in lime juice.
