Sweet Potato Chowder


Ingredients
  • 2-3 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups of cut up chicken (I used a rotisserie style chicken)
  • 2 cans of chicken stock or broth
  • 1/2 cup of coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 jalapenos chopped
  • 2 TBS butter or olive oil
Instructions
Bake your sweet potatoes at 350 it will take about 1 hour or until soft (I quartered mine and wrapped them in tin foil to cook them faster). Once sweet potatoes are cooked remove the skin and place sweet potato in a food processor or blender and puree. I added a little bit of my chicken broth during the puree process to help smooth it out. Saute your onion and celery (next time I would add carrots too) in the butter or olive oil until tender. Add pureed sweet potatoes, remaining chicken broth and bring to a slow boil. Add the 1/2 cup of coconut milk, jalapenos, chicken, and a little salt. Reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes and enjoy!!
