CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Chicken and Sweet Potato Soup image

This delicious soup combines chicken and sweet potatoes with the heat of red chilies and the tang of tomatoes. You can adjust the amount of red chili you use, either up or down depending on how much heat you want. I, myself, don't like things too spicy. Serve with hot buttered cornbread or crusty rolls.

SLOW-COOKER GREEN CHICKEN CHILI



Slow-Cooker Green Chicken Chili image

This easy, slow-cooked chili is not your average "bowl of red." With chicken, sweet potatoes, tomatillo salsa, and pinto beans, it's more of a cross between chile verde (usually made with pork) and white chicken chili. Just a few ingredients and effortless prep gives you a flavorful and satisfying "bowl of green."
