Welcome

Some of you may recognize me from the Food Network Challenge - Build a Better Buger, 2006, where I made Masala Burgers with a Tangy Tamarind Sauce. Although this was my first time cooking on TV, I have been busy in the kitchen for over 30 years!



I enjoy cooking and creating unique recipes and entering cooking contests and challenges. Not all of them win first place, but I've been urged to share my recipes. So here are a few - Enjoy!

Sweet Potato-Mango Soup with Chipotle Pepper



Ingredients:
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cups, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes, sweet potatoes
1 table spoon chopped Chipotle Pepper in adobo sauce
2, 14 oz. Cans of 99% fat free chicken broth
2 cups of semi-ripe Mangoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup buttermilk
Salt to taste
1/2 cup fresh Cilantro leaves
2 cups Plantain Chips

Directions:
1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sweet potatoes and chipotle peppers; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, until the sweet potato is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Add mangoes and cook for another 5 minutes till mango pieces are soft. Remove from the heat.
2. Using a blender, puree the soup. Stir in the buttermilk and season with salt. Warm over low heat. Serve the soup with Plantain chips and garnished with cilantro leaves.
Servings: 4-6
