I don't understand why so many of you are making this recipe without the sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are great. I will say,I made mine with a chicken bouillon cube and needed to add a seasoning salt. Actually the sweet potatoes are barely noticable, but of course I wanted to follow the whole recipe. Make sure to add the cilantro as a garnish in your bowl, that's the best part. Thank you Paula.

Used red skins, red peppers, and chicken breast instead. This was seriously good!

I just made this tonight for dinner. Added a squeeze of lime as a garnish, along with the avocado and sour cream. OMG, this is one of the best soups ever! Super easy, tons of flavor, and healthy! I will be keeping this in my recipe book for a long time to come!

We really liked this dish. Made even easier using a pressure cooker. Very easy to prepare. I did use chicken breast (seasoned then pressure cooked) & red pepper instead of yellow. Accompanied with whole wheat corn bread. Magnificent!!!

Loved this recipe! It was a HUGE hit at my house! I loved the flavor. I only used half the amount of onions it called for, I used 2 regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes, and I added a can of white navy beans as well. Delicious! This will definitely become a regular meal during the cold months!

absolutely wonderful, My family loved it. My husband ate three bowls and my seven year old ate 2 bowls. I substituted the salsa with red salsa that I had in the fridge and the sweet pot to regular potatoes. I will keep this recipe in my collection!!! Thanks Paula!

GREAT Chicken Chili Stew! I had to substitue red pepper flakes (1/4 t.- 1/2 t.) for the jalapeno, and it came out great! I also added some baby carrots (at same time you add the sweet potatoes) and an additional can of beans to feed more folks with great success! (Tip: Where I live in Southern California, soups such as this one are standardly served with a few lime slices (or lemon slices) at the table--just squeeze some juice over your bowl and it will really enhance the flavor!)
