Baked Chipotle Cheddar Sweet Potato Chowder Calories: 492kcal   Author: Tieghan Gerard Ingredients 6 slices thick-cut bacon chopped 1 yellow onion chopped 4 cloves garlic chopped kosher salt and black pepper 2 tablespoons salted butter 1/4 cup all-purpose or gluten free flour 4 cups low sodium bone broth or vegetable broth 1/2 cup apple cider 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped 2 cups milk 1-2 tablespoons chopped chipotle in adobo (1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder) 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped chopped green onion for serving Instructions 1. Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and reserve the bacon. If there's excess bacon grease, drain off all but 1 tablespoon. 2. To the same pot, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until fragrant. Add the garlic. Stir in the butter and flour, cook for 1 minute. Pour the broth and cider over and stir in the sweet potatoes. Partially cover and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are very soft. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes. I like to leave my soup chunky and do 1/3 of the potatoes.3. Stir in the milk, chipotle, chili powder, paprika, yogurt/sour cream, and cheddar cheese. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. If needed, thin with additional broth.4. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top, as desired, with yogurt/sour cream, cheese, cilantro, and green onions. Adds lots of bacon. Eat and enjoy!

Sweet Potato With Ginger Soup

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 ½ pounds peeled raw sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

• 1 large onion, cut into large dice

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 pinch sugar

• 3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced

• 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can

• 1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)

• Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

• Garnish: chopped honey-roasted peanuts

1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.

2. Add sweet potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, til vegs start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 mins.

3. Reduce heat to low & add butter, sugar & garlic; continue cooking til all vegs are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.

4. Add ginger, nutmeg and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.

5. Add broth; bring to a simmer over medhigh heat. Reduce to low & simmer, partially covered, til sweet pots are tender, about 10 mins.

6. Using immersion blender puree until very smooth, 30 secs to 1 min. Return to pot add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, & add salt & pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Years ago I made a tasty soup with lentils, ham and sweet potatoes.  The rest of my family was not a fan, so much of the soup went in the freezer and took forever for me to eat all of it.

Most people make Sweet Potatoes in a spicy or sweet dish.

If you haven't tried savory Sweet Potatoes, please give it a try!

They are delicious roasted and seasoned.  I put salt on my fries!

Sorry about the links on my soup posts...I actually proofread and still missed them.

However, I believe you deleted the other Soup Thread in error.

It was not a duplicate.

This thread is about Sweet Potato Soup...the one you deleted was about reg Potato soup.

If there is anyway to restore it....

@gloriajean    Well it looks like they made a mistake by removing the thread on regular potato soup as a duplicate.  I don't see how they couldn't tell they're two very different soups lol.  Hope you were able to grab screenshots of the recipes.  I went back looking to get some from other posters only to find it was gone.😔

I throw leftover sweet potatoes in just about any veggie soup I make. Delicious.

Also, someone mentioned an African soup with sweet potatoes. A local restaurant makes a peanut sweet potato soup. It is their claim to fame and very good. I see several recipes online. That's if you don't have a peanut allergy problem.

You could also roast them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and then take it from there.

Either eat them roasted or add to a soup recipe.  Having the carmelization via roasting will add depth to the flavor.

Thank you all for the wonderful recipes. I will try to try each and every one of them!  Love Sweet Potatoes!

So my other Potato Soup one is gone now? That's too bad. I didn't get to copy any. Shucks!

I'm not sure, but you may be able to post asking the mods to restore it since they're totally different things.
