Best Cold Season Chicken And Sweet Potato Soup Recipes

CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large soup pot. Add the onions, garlic, and bay leaf, cook stirring occasionally until the onions are slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until soft around the edges, another 2 minutes. Scatter the flour over the vegetables and stir until the flour is absorbed into the mixture, 1 minute.
• 2. Add the broth to the pot, whisking until smooth. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat and season with 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper. Once the soup boils, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, stir into the soup and cook until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the cilantro and divide the soup into 4 serving bowls. Top each soup with sour cream and chipotle hot sauce as desired. Serve.

CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F/200*C. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and place skin side down in a roasting pan.
• Cook 30 to 35 minutes or until just done. Juices should run clear.
• Remove from the pan and cool until easy to handle. Remove the skin and discard. Pull the meat from the bones and shred into bite sized pieces.
• Melt the butter and olive oil together and add the onions and shallots. Cook and stir about 15 minutes until softened. Add the bell pepper and red chilli and continue to cook and stir about 5 minutes longer. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring.
• Add the chicken broth, shredded chicken, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, dried marjoram leaves, bay leaves, salt and pepper and stir until combines. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and flavours have developed. Skim any fat off the top as it cooks.
• Discard the bay leaves. Taste for seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve in hot bowls with a dollop of sour cream on top of each. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
