Chicken Sweet Potato Soup with Cornbread Croutons

This Chicken Sweet Potato Soup with Cornbread Croutons is filled with chicken, sweet potato and white beans that’s topped off with homemade cornbread croutons!

I know what you’re thinking … it’s almost Spring, why is this chick posting a soup recipe.

Well, the real answer is: I’ve been meaning to post this recipe since Thanksgiving and just haven’t gotten to it yet.

But, my procrastination aside, I seriously love this recipe for Chicken Sweet Potato Soup with Cornbread Croutons.

Topping your soup with croutons is just the best idea ever because it adds a crunchy element that’s also a bit sweet because these homemade croutons are made with cornbread!

The soup itself is full of shredded chicken, sweet potatoes and white beans … so it’s similar to a white chili but it’s not heavy or creamy.

The flavors of this Chicken Sweet Potato Soup with Cornbread Croutons are seriously mouthwatering. Typically sweet potatoes are more of a fall food, but I definitely eat them year round.

If you’re not a huge sweet potato fan, feel free to substitute white or red potatoes. I’ve also made this soup using butternut squash when it’s in season. I personally think the sweetness of the sweet potatoes compliment the cornbread croutons in the best way.

We’re not quite to salad season yet (at least not here in Chicago), so we’ve still got a good couple of months for SOUP.

I hope you like this Chicken Sweet Potato Soup with Cornbread Croutons as much as myself and my family did.
