Sweet Potato Chili Soup
Hey Everyone!
I wouldn't have believed that this recipe could have worked unless I had tried it, but ya'll...this recipe is dynamite!!! Even the kids ate it up, which made this health-nut mom very happy! It's savory with a hint of sweet from the sweet potato that is unlike anything I have tasted in a soup before but in a very good way.
It is more soup in texture but more chili in flavor. You can thicken this recipe to make it more chili-like in texture by draining the canned tomatoes and chili beans before adding them to the mixture. Also, you could reduce the amount of chicken stock by half a cup if you want.
You can also adjust the spice by reducing the amount of chili powder that you put in. At first, I put in 2 tbs of chili powder in and it was just too much spice for me, but I'm a pansy when it comes to heat in my food. My husband, who can handle more heat said 2 tbs was just right, so it really depends on your own personal taste as to how much you decide to put in.
Enjoy!
