Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute onions, garlic and ginger until soft and fragrant.
  2. Add lime juice and sweet potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Stir in vegetable broth through chipotle chili powder. Bring to a boil. Continue to boil until sweet potatoes are soft and starting to fall apart (approximately 20 minutes, but times will vary depending on the size you cut your potatoes).
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook chorizo over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
  4. Using an immersion blender or a food processor, puree the sweet potato mixture, mixture will be the consistency of apple sauce.
  5. In Dutch oven over low heat, stir in half & half. If you prefer to thin out your bisque, add additional vegetable broth or apple juice.
