Serves: 6-8
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large white onion, diced
1 jalapeno, stem and seeds removed, diced
pinch of salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pound ground turkey
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, diced
4 cups vegetable broth
15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
cheese, green onions, cilantro, tortilla chips, etc. for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft.
Add the garlic, cumin, and turkey, and cook, breaking up the turkey as it browns.
Once the turkey is cooked, move the turkey mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Add the sweet potatoes, chipotle chili, and vegetable broth to the soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover, cooking until the sweet potato is soft (15-20 minutes).
Once the sweet potato is soft, either use an immersion blender to puree the mixture, or puree in batches in a blender until smooth.
Return the sweet potato mixture to the pot, and stir in the turkey mixture and black beans. Cook for a few minutes until everything is warm. Serve with desired toppings.
