1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut (about 2 potatoes)
1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
3½ to 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
Queso fresco (optional, for serving)
Toasted pepitas (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and saute until onion softens and starts to brown (about 7 minutes). Add cumin and garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in sweet potatoes, chile and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, partially cover and cook until sweet potatoes are soft (about 20 minutes).
Let soup cool for 5 minutes and then transfer soup to a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth. [Note: Use caution when blending hot liquids].
Return pureed soup to pot, over low heat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with Greek yogurt, queso fresco and/or toasted pepitas.
