Smoky Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients

2 cups mashed sweet potato (from a baked sweet potato – see below)

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup lowfat milk

Zest from ½ a large orange

1 tsp. smoked paprika

½ tsp. chili powder (or use chipotle powder if you have it)

Salt & pepper to taste

1 diced avocado

Seasoned tortilla strips

Lime wedges

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork before baking until tender (about an hour, depending on the size).

Let the potatoes cool, then remove potato skin, add to a blender along with the broth, orange zest and milk. Blend on low until smooth. You can also do this in a pot with an immersion blender.

Add in the salt & pepper to taste, chili powder and smoked paprika. Heat on top of the stove until simmering (stir occasionally), let simmer for 10-15 minutes to blend the flavors.

Serve with avocado, tortilla strips and a squeeze of lime juice on top.

About

I love a potato soup, but I hadn't really thought much about turning sweet potatoes into a soup before. This recipe really puts a new twist on the traditional flavor of sweet potatoes, highlighting their flavor with a smokey/chipotle element.
