Why This Dish Is So Satisfying

This soup combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a spicy kick from the shrimp, creating a perfect balance of flavors. It’s warm, comforting, and packed with nutrients, making it a great choice for any season.

Cooking Hints

- Roast the sweet potatoes for a deeper, caramelized flavor before blending.
- Use fresh shrimp and season them well to enhance the spicy notes.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili flakes or hot sauce to suit your taste.

Step 1

Lightly heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them gently until the onion softens up and becomes fragrant—this usually takes about 10 minutes. Then, pour in the vegetable stock along with the corn, sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Bring everything to a boil and let it cook together for about 5 minutes so the flavors can meld.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the pot and bring it back to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and let it simmer until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, which should take around 10 minutes. Finally, stir in some chopped green onions, taste the soup, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Ideas

Serve this soup with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or green onions on top. A side of crusty bread or a simple green salad pairs well to complete the meal.

How To Store This Recipe

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the shrimp from becoming tough, or add shrimp fresh when reheating the soup.
