Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 sweet red pepper, diced
  • 1/2 sweet green pepper, diced
  • 1/2 large white onion, diced
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 13-ounce cans chicken broth
  • 3 canned chipotle chilies, minced
  • 2 14-ounce cans corn
  • 1 cup low-fat milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Cook the bacon in a large stockpot over medium heat until it begins to crisp. Spoon off the bacon fat, except for a thin coating. Add the peppers and onion to the bacon and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, chicken broth, and chipotles and simmer, covered, 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the corn, milk, and salt; heat through.
