A little sweet and a little spicy, this sweet potato soup is filled with flavor and is super quick and easy to make any day of the week!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 cups vegetable broth
2 cups salsa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until soft and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir sweet potatoes into onion mixture until potatoes are coated completely.
2 Mix broth into potato mixture, bring to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir salsa, salt, and black pepper into soup.
3 Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return to saucepan over medium-low heat; when soup is hot, stir in lime juice.
