Chipotle Maple Yam Soup
This sweet & spicy soup is the perfect addition to your list of cold-weather favorites. Nothing beats the color palette of this bad boy either.
Peel and dice your Yams & place in salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until for tender (about 15-20 minutes)
While the potatoes are cooking add 1 tbs Olive Oil & chopped White Onion to a pot & cook with Sea Salt and Black Pepper until translucent.
Add the Garlic, Chipotle Powder & Thyme. Cook until the garlic is softened.
Once the potatoes are cooked allow them to cool & then add to a blender with Vegetable Stock, Maple Syrup, 1 tbs Olive Oil the Onions & Garlic & blend until smooth.
Add the blended mixture back to the pot you cooked the onions in, add 2 Bay Leaves and allow to cook for another 15-20 minutes.
Before serving, remove the bay leaves.
Enjoy as is or garnish with with something crunchy and salty.
I chose to add a few roasted Pepitas, a drizzle of Olive Oil and some Challah Bread with that I toasted with Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Thyme & Olive Oil.
