Spicy Sweet Potato Soup Recipe
Beat the cold with a big bowl of vegan homemade soup. This spicy sweet potato soup is nourishing and delicious, the perfect soup for a meatless Monday.
While there are some awesome deals on meat at Safeway this week, sticking to a meatless meal night each week will save you money in the long run because so many delicious meals can be made out of items you have on hand in your pantry or freezer.
Take this spicy sweet potato soup for example, the only fresh ingredient you really need to use is 2 sweet potatoes. The other ingredients in the soup can be frozen or jarred if you don’t have fresh on hand.
The heat from the soup comes from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. The peppers give this soup a warm and delicious flavor and a touch of heat, but there is plenty of sweetness to offset the heat and fresh flavor from the corn, canned tomatoes and the spinach.
I have a large pot of this soup on the stove for dinner tonight and I can’t wait to dig in! I’ll serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of shredded cheese for some extra creaminess.
