This is wonderful! I am so glad that I discovered this one, because everyone loves when I make it. It is a favorite! Goes perfectly with a loaf of crusty garlic bread! Delish! Ingredients:
4 slices bacon, finely chopped |
1 medium onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 cloves garlic, sliced |
4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed |
8 cups chicken broth |
2 tablespoons pickled jalapenos, chopped |
2 tablespoons jalapeno juice |
1 teaspoon comino |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup cilantro leaves |
1-1/2 cups milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. In large pot, saute bacon and onion in butter until just tender. Add garlic and cook about 2 minutes.
2. Add sweet potatoes, chicken broth, pickled jalapenos, jalapeno juice and comino. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20-30 minutes.
