For the soup
For the salsa
Use a stick blender to puree the soup right in the pot; or
Cool soup to room temperature and blend in batches in your blender.
Peel sweet potato and dice into 2 cm cubes. Peel and dice onion.
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or small stock pot over a medium heat. Add crushed garlic, diced onion, cumin, and coriander. Sauté until onion is transparent and spices are fragrant.
Add sweet potato and stir until the cubes are well incorporated and coated with spices and garlic.
Dissolve vegetable stock in 3 cups of the hot water. Add to sauce pan. The stock should just cover the sweet potato. If required, add up to an extra cup of water.
Stir in chili in adobo (or Mexican chili sauce) and tomato paste.
Turn heat up to high and bring to the boil. Once the liquid is boiling reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the sweet potato cubes are tender when pierced with a fork. This should take about 30 minutes. While soup is cooking, make salsa. (See below for instructions)
