Soup is for all times and for all seasons, but this soup sings of summer to us. The sweet potato, firm outside and tender inside, living up to its name by lending a sweet touch to the proceedings. Slightly spicy poblano and sweet corn are obvious sunshine and lazy days ingredients… but the sour cream, guacamole, and tortillas on top? Our bowl is already clean: Summer soups sooth so splendidly. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off 1/4" along its length and cut that section into 1/2" dice. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from while you dice remaining sweet potato.

Meat lovers! If using protein, add before shallot and poblano. If using chicken breasts, pat chicken dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1" dice. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt. Add to hot pot and stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes. If using ground turkey, add to hot pot and stir occasionally until no pink remains on turkey, 5-7 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt.
