Sweet Potato Salsa Soup

I got a new cookbook when we went gluten-free. It’s called Against All Grain, by Danielle Walker, and as of now, it has nearly 1,900 5-star reviews on Amazon, so that speaks volumes. I’m so impressed by not only her recipes, but Ms. Walker also took every photo in the book! Anyway, I’ve tried a couple recipes so far and been pleased. This recipe is my adaptation of her Mexican Chicken Chowder. She spends way longer on her version than I am willing to–I use jarred salsa and canned chunk chicken–but preserve a lot of the recipe’s intent. NOTE: To make this vegan, simply sub canned black beans for the chunk chicken.
