Directions

  1. In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the onions. Stir until they start to sizzle, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir occasionally for about 15 minutes. Wait for them to turn golden.
  2. Add the garlic and stir for a minute, then add chipotle powder and cumin. Toast 1 minute more.
  3. Add sweet potato, salt, and stock. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer for about 15  minutes or until the sweet potato pieces are tender when pierced with a knife.
  4. Add the canned corn, black beans, chicken, and lime juice and return to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Serve in bowls, topped with fresh cilantro and avocado, with lime wedges on the side.

Serving Suggestion

Serve up this flavorful soup with crispy tortillas and, if you prefer, a dollop of sour cream to add a little creaminess.
