Steps:
- First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees, rinse off your jalapenos, wrap in foil, and throw them in for 20 minutes. Then take them out and give them a rough chop. Scrub your sweet potatoes and cut them in half. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add in sweet potatoes. Boil until you can stick them and they are soft. Drain and let them cool until you can handle them. Peel off the skin, set aside. While potatoes are cooling, add butter to the soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, saute until onions are translucent, add garlic and saute about one more minute. Cook your bacon separately in the microwave, oven, or in a skillet. When cooked, break 3 of the slices into pieces and add to the onions and garlic. Add chicken broth to the pot, cover and bring to a boil. Slice the peeled sweet potatoes into bite sized pieces and add to the soup pot. Add jalapenos, cumin, cilantro, and half-and-half. Stir into soup. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

SWEET POTATO-PEAR-CINNAMON JUICE
Sweet potato may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about juicing, but we love it combined with pear and cinnamon. Sweet potatoes are a great source of potassium and beta carotene-which your body can convert to vitamin A (good for the skin and night vision). Be sure to drink your juice as soon as possible after it's made for the most nutritious bang. Adding chia seeds helps replace the fiber that is lost in the juicing process.

SWEET POTATO JALAPENO SOUP
This recipe comes from a wonderful little community called Homestead Heritage outside of Waco, TX. This spicy, creamy, smoky soup is a favorite of everyone who tries it and I'm pleased to say that they share their recipes! I entered this soup into our churches Souper Bowl contest and it won the Hot Stuff award! Notes to add: 1. I used about 5.5 lbs sweet potatoes and it was still very spicy. If you want to make it mild or kid friendly, cut way back on the jalapenos and just place them in a bowl as a side. 2. To sweeten it, I have found that 2 Tbsp brown sugar does the trick. 3. This soup freezes beautifully! You won't be disappointed in this soup!

Steps:
- 1. Heat butter in an 8 quart stockpot. Add bacon and onion and cook until bacon crisp. Add garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
- 2. Add sweet potatoes, broth, jalapenos, juice and cumin. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender.
- 3. When potatoes are done, add soda, cilantro and half and half. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or use an immersion blender.
- 4. Stir well and taste for salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and plump sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any with bruises or blemishes.
- Roast the sweet potatoes and pears together: This helps to caramelize the natural sugars in both vegetables, resulting in a richer and more flavorful soup.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like your soup spicy, add an extra jalapeño or two. If you prefer a milder soup, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before adding it to the soup.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any on hand, you can use water instead, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup. Some good options include cilantro, parsley, or thyme.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato, pear, and jalapeño soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a comforting and nutritious soup, give this recipe a try.
