chipotle sweet potato soup
On a whim, I bought Pacific Natural Foods Chipotle Sweet Potato soup. To accompany it, I also got some boneless skinless chicken breasts & a couple of sweet potatoes.
I cubed one of the breasts to cook over medium heat in a tablespoon of olive oil. I shaved the skin off the sweet potatoes, chunked them, then put them in a medium pot with the whole container of soup. I heated the soup over medium-high heat.
Once the chicken was cooked through, I added the cubes to the soup & let everything come to a slow boil. I reduced the heat & let the soup soften the sweet potatoes.
The soup itself has a good flavor, not too overpowering, not too subtle. If I had chipotle powder, I would have seasoned the chicken while it was initially cooking--as it stands, the chicken seems somewhat flavorless against the soup. The sweet potatoes didn't take long at all to soften & blends well with the rest of the ingredients.
I'll cook this again. It was quick (10 mins prep, 15-20 mins cooking time) & tasty. It would be good even without the chicken.
