Sweet Potato and Chipotle Pepper Chili

 Ingredients:



2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium red onion, diced

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

1 medium sweet potato, diced (1/2 inch)

1 (14 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1-2 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce, finely diced

2 tablespoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder, plus more to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.





Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.



Add the garlic and continue to sauté until fragrant, about thirty seconds.

Add the tomatoes, beans, sweet potato, 1 cup of broth, tomato paste, chipotle peppers, cumin, and chili powder.

Lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer, uncovered, for at least 20 minutes, adding additional broth if it becomes too thick.



Remove the chili from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.



Ladle into bowls and top with scallions, cilantro or avocado slices. Serve.



Recipe Notes

This is moderately spicy. If you aren't into heat, just cut back on the chipotle peppers and chili powder.

I found a Korean smoothie recipe, I use it. There's a banana and orange juice or milk in it. But I only drink almond milk, it's really good. You add it depending on how many smoothies you need. They also add different fruits.

I'll bet sweet potatoes would be really good for making smoothies. We got on a kick of making pumpkin smoothies last Autumn.  I'll bet that would be similar.  Do you have a recipe?
