Sweet Potato & Red Pepper Chowder

Big cravings for soup. Big thank you to kajal's blog where this is shamlessly lifted.

I pureed the whole thing in the blender, because again, I am drinking my meals.

Sweet Potato & Red Pepper Chowder

1 tablespoon olive oil1 onion, chopped
1 big sweet potato, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
3 cups vegetable stock
1 cup corn
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 red chili or a tablespoon chili powder
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
small handful chopped cilantro
salt/pepper

Heat the oil with the onion and sweet potato for 5 minutes. Add the flour (1 more minute) and the stock. Boil and then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Blend until smooth. After it's back in the pot, add the corn, red pepper, chili, and green onions. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and cilantro. Add salt/pepper to taste.
