Spice is added to sweet potatoes! The addition of coconut oil, ginger, roasted garlic, caramelized onions, and a hint of spice and turmeric makes these mashed potatoes wonderfully delicious. These amazing root vegetables don’t require any salt or sugar! In order to balance the textures of the onions and garlic, crème fraîche adds a creamy texture. Because I am constantly exploring for new ways to include ginger, curry, and turmeric in my diet, I have never had this dish anyplace other than at home. I adore every component in this dish!

Reviews
I have been making this recipe for years!! Quick and easy but tastes very satisfying.
Added a block of cream cheese for a more creamy flavor. I may consider adding lime juice next time.
Only 4 stars since I modified the recipe only by adding roasted poblanos. Comfort food!
Good recipe. I did add a can of Rotel ciltrano lime tomatoes, a little lime juice and zest, garlic and a couple of scallions as it cooked. I cooked the chicken in broth (which I used later in the soup) and shredded it.
I excluded the oregano and cilantro and added Tortilla Soup Starter Chicken Broth and substituted the salsa with Petite Diced Tomatoes. Also I used Santa Fe Tortilla Strips Salad Toppers to eliminate having to make tortilla strips. It came out so delicious. A must try.
I doubled the recipe and added 2 cans of cream of chicken and 1/2 cup more salsa and 2 more tsp cumin. Delicious
Bland. Needed a lot of seasoning. Will look for another recipe.
I love this recipe. It is so quick and easy AND when I think ahead of time I just put it in the crockpot! Always amazing. Sometimes I will add some onions just for taste. Great served with some chips and shredded cheese.
My family liked this soup. I added more chili power. Next time I will probably use store bought chips.
I cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us. I used corn from the freezer. We had the salsa on the side. And put some cheese on top before eating. We enjoyed this recipe. Quick and easy. I will make it again.
I always season my chicken (with seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder) before adding it to any recipe, and this was great!
This recipe is genius! I used unsalted tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s as the broth had enough sodium for me! I also swapped the two chicken breasts for three thighs. At the end I added a teaspoon or so of red crushed chili flakes for a kick. Topped with diced avocado, radish, cilantro & sour cream. So easy, so yummy can’t wait to wait make again
I love this recipe. I had never made it before and it turned out so good.
This soup was easy to make and delicious! I added a fresh red onion and 2 jalapeño peppers for a kick ?? I also used rotisserie chicken instead of raw. This is definitely a favorite!
This recipe was awesome, I made some adjustments to it, I added a little more chicken broth, added in some rice along with a large can of diced tomatoes, and topped it off with French’s crispy fried onions instead of the tortilla chips and cheese OMG it was so awesome
Enjoyed very much, not too spicy for a 90-year-old 🙂
Very good. I added more salsa. Cut chicken in Little pieces and cooked in olive oil ,garlic and black pepper. Then added to soup
Excellent!
It was absolutely delicious! Add a splash of wine and it’s perfect!
Only change I made was to use salsa verde instead of salsa as I had none on hand and I added a can of diced green chiles. I baked my chicken breasts in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes while I fried my tortillas and boiled/simmered the soup with everything except the chicken. Once the chicken was done, I let it sit five minutes then cut it and put in the soup to simmer for a few minutes. Super quick! Super easy!
This soup has an awesome taste. I added sweet onion and a green pepper and lemon juice. I would defiantly make again.
