Prep Soup Recipes for a Restful Sunday Afternoon

On the latest episode of the podcast, my guest, Kathi Lipp shares about her new book Sabbath Soup. Her thought is that by prepping a soup for Sunday, readers (or my listeners) can enjoy a full day each week of real rest and refreshment.  

Do something good for your soul and experience the peace that comes with a full day dedicated to spending time with family and friends. Savor your Sabbath as you proudly proclaim, “Soup’s on!”

Here is one of my favorite, go-to chili recipes for a slow Sunday afternoon:

Smokey Sweet Potato & Turkey Chili
(adapted from Simple Delights)
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 TBSP salt
2 TBSP chili powder
2 TBSP cumin powder
1 1/2 TBSP brown sugar
2 sweet potatoes, 1/2 inch cubes
1 can black beans
1 large can diced tomatoes
2 cans chicken broth

*You can also add green peppers and diced chili peppers.

In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the onions for about 5 minutes. Now, add the ground turkey, salt, cumin, chili powder and brown sugar. Cook until the turkey is cooked through…use a large spoon to crumble the turkey as it cooks. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Now, add the black beans, tomatoes, and chicken stock. Mix everything together- bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 40 minutes- until the sweet potato is cooked through. Top with basil, Parmesan, or whatever you'd prefer on your chili.

I really enjoyed this dish. The flavors blended well together: a mix of sweetness from the brown sugar and spiciness from the cumin and chili powder.

The chili takes about ten-fifteen minutes to prepare and then about forty minutes to fully cook. I was pleased as the timer went off just as Marty walked through the door. Talk about a great way to warm up after a long day outside.
