Jalapeno Sweet Potato Chowder

This is one of my favorite recipes that originally called for a crockpot, but I turned it into a meal that takes roughly 1.5 hours to make (not active time, of course).  It is warm, filling and very spicy!

Jalapeno Sweet Potato Chowder

2 large sweet potatoes

2-3 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless

1 small yellow onion

2 carrots

3-4 celery stalks

2 T butter or EVOO

2 cups chicken broth/stock

2 jalapeno peppers, diced

1/2 cup coconut milk

Boil a large pot of water and place quartered sweet potatoes and chicken breast. 

Boil for about 30-45 minutes.

Dice the carrots, celery and onion and melt butter or EVOO in a pan and

 sauté until the onion gives a clear appearance. Set aside.

Drain the chicken breasts and potatoes.

Scoop out the sweet potatoes and place in a food processor. 

Puree until no lumps can be found.

Place back into pot and grab the chicken breasts and jalapenos (just cut the top off and half)

 and "blend" them in the food processor as well, with 1/2 cup chicken broth, adding more if necessary.

Place everything in the original pot, add the remaining chicken broth, coconut milk and simmer for 30 minutes.  Enjoy!!!

HAPPY PALEO COOKING!!!
