Spicy Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients:
1-2 tablespoons oil
1/2 yellow onion
2-3 cloves minced garlic
1 large sweet potato (or 2 if yours are on the small side)
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
14 ounces (one can) veggie or chicken stock
salt + pepper, and a few sprinkles of cilantro for garnish.

Directions:

First chop up the onion and potato, mince the garlic. In a medium size spot heat oil over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes. Add in the potato and chopped chipotle pepper. I used two peppers plus about two teaspoons adobo sauce. This made the final soup quite spicy. I thought it was just the right amount for me but if you like a little less spice or have never cooked with chipotle peppers before try just one pepper. Add the stock and turn the heat down to medium/low. Let this cook (softening the potatoes) for 20 minutes or so. I had very thinly sliced my potatoes but if you left yours more chunky you may need to cook them a little longer. Season with salt and pepper. Blend into a soup. Serve hot with cilantro and a maybe a slice of fancy toast. Makes 2 servings.
