Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Santa Fe Sweet Potato Crockpot Soup Serves four Works best in a large (minimum 5 quart) crockpot 1 Tbs olive oil 2 onions, finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp salt (I used sea salt) 1 tsp dried oregano leaves (I used Mexican oregano) 6 c vegetable broth 4 c cubed, peeled sweet potatoes 2 dried New Mexico, ancho or guajillo chile peppers 2 c boiling water 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped 2 c corn kernels, thawed if frozen 1 tsp grated lime zest 2 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips Finely chopped cilantro to taste In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add onions and cook, stirring until softened, about 3-minutes. Add garlic, salt, and oregano and cook, stirring for one minute. Transfer to crockpot. Add broth and stir to combine. Add sweet potatoes and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until sweet potatoes are tender. Half an hour before soup has finished cooking, in a heatproof bowl, soak dried chile peppers in boiling water for 30 minutes, weighing down with a cup to make certain they remain submerged. Drain, discarding the soaking liquid and stems. Pat dry, chop coarsely and add to crockpot, along with the jalapeno pepper. Working in batches, puree soup in a food processor or blender and return to crockpot. Add corn, lime zest, and juice. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, until corn is tender. When ready to serve, ladle into individual bowls and garnish with red pepper strips and cilantro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I haven't tried it,though it does look great. I think for me it would either " have a kick to it " or be a bit to spicy. I'm a lightweight. I'd probablt lose the jalapeno altogether aand stick to the ancho or perhaps maybe a half jalapeno (seeded to make it less spicy).
