Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium carrots, peeled
2 ribs celery
1 large onion, peeled and halved
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 to 2 chipotle chili in adobo, finely chopped, plus a spoon of sauce from the can
Salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon dry thyme, eyeball it
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine, eyeball it
5 cups chicken stock
1 large sweet potato
3/4 to 1 pound chicken tenders, cut into bite size pieces
4 scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, a generous handful, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish, optional

Directions

Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 turns of the pan.

While soup pot heats, chop carrots in half lengthwise then slice into thin half moons. Add the carrots to the pot while it heats, stirring to coat the carrots in the oil. Chop and drop in celery and onion, chopping as small as you can, but don't make yourself crazy.. Add the garlic, chipotle, and adobo sauce and stir to combine. Season the veggies with salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Cook the veggies together 1 minute. Add the wine and reduce a minute. Add the stock to the pot, cover the pot, and raise heat to high. Bring the stoup to a boil, remove the cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into quarters lengthwise, then thinly slice into bite size pieces. Add the cut chicken and sweet potatoes and simmer 5 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through. Turn the heat off and add the scallions and cilantro. Serve each portion of stoup with a dollop of sour cream on top.

Smoky and spicy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A splash of lime juice and lime zest helped cool down the spice factor, still very tasty!

Smoky Goodness
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of my all time favorite stoups! I love the combination of flavors. The sweet potatoes mixed with the chipotle... peppers just makes it good. All of the veggies and chicken make it a nice hearty stoup! I make this again and again. It is a good way to fuse together some flavors you wouldn't normally cook together. So Good!Read more

Delish!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Thumbs up for how tasty it was, but thumbs down for how longgg it took to make. I changed it up a bit after reading the... reviews...I didn't add the chipotle chili, scallions, cilantro leaves or thyme. I used 6oz of Bud Light beer instead of white wine. I used 3 cloves or garlic (instead of 2), added garlic powder & used a substantial amount of ground pepper, and a bit of sage & it turned out great! Even without the chipotle chili it was still spicy, but not too much. Next time I would use 1 more carrot & 1 more sweet potato because there was a little too much liquid. It was a hit in our house and it complimented our homemade quesadillas very nicely. Enjoy!Read more

An Adaptation
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband and I originally made this with the chipotle peppers as suggested and fund it too soicy to the extent that it... co9vered up the flavors of the other ingredients. And we both enjoy spicy foods wuite a bit. Then one night, I had all the fixings except for the adobo. So i substituted chili powder and some cumin instead. It was very good, and the heat was much more palatable. We have enjoyed this variation on the recipe many times. Overall, the recipe is a keeper and has worked out well with a few minor adjustments.Read more

Okay but not a 5-star soup
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was wanting a thai soup but didn't have all the necessary ingredients on hand and I came upon this recipe. I only added... one chipolte pepper and that was plenty spicy! To add a little depth to the very thin broth (stoup?) I added a half can of coconut milk. This toned down the heat and added much needed flavor. Served with rice. Kids ate it but wasn't a big hit. Try, try again.Read more
