Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chipotle Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
• 1 can (7 oz) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, diced
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the vegetable broth, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and chipotle peppers. Stir to combine.
4. Secure the lid, set the pressure valve to seal, and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
5. Once the cooking time has completed, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Then, release the remaining pressure manually.
6. Carefully open the lid and stir the soup. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender and puree in batches.)
7. Taste and season with salt and black pepper, as desired.
