Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes

    Add diced sweet potatoes to the pot, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add the Broth and Spices

    Pour in the vegetable broth, then add cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.

  5. 5

    Add Corn and Peppers

    Stir in yellow corn and roasted red peppers, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Blend (Optional)

    For a creamier texture, blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth, or leave it chunky if preferred.
