This was absolutely delicious, I did make a few changes I was in the mood for beef so i used beef stew meat and cooked it with the onion and garlic, then added the sweet potato, I also added regular potatoes and red pepper its what I had in the fridge and the rest of ingredients. I added some Red Cayenne pepper to add a little more heat and added a black lemon to add a little lemon flavor it was delicious, I think next time I make this I will through in some carrots I'm a big veggie lover, the making process was a bit tough but well worth, it I will defiantly make this again!

My husband and I both loved this recipe. I made it exactly as specified except I omitted the orange pepper (my husband doesn't like peppers). I combined the flour and water before adding it to the pot. I used cocoa powder as called for, and added the fresh cilantro for the last 15 minutes before serving. We ate it with Italian bread and I added some grated parmesan to mine. I will definitely make this again. Thank you!

Super tasty. My store didn't have any sweet potatoes, only yams. And no, they are not the same thing. I think yams, which I used, are better for this dish anyway because the yams really held their shape without becoming mushy even when they softened up. Having taste compared sweet potatoes and yams in the past, I think yams have more flavor and sweet potatoes only taste exactly as they sound - like sweetened potatoes. Also, I made a slurry with the flour before adding it to the pot. I put two tbsp of flour in a small container and slowly mixed in spoonfuls of the dish's liquid until it was just diluted past the gluey stage. No clumps of flour for me. Also, I did not drain the tomatoes and I found the end consistency to be perfect. And instead of water, I added 2 cups of leftover homemade chicken soup broth (sans vegetables and egg noodles). And finally, I didn't have any cocoa powder, so I gave it a healthy squirt of chocolate syrup.

The flavour of this dish was very nice, I loved the unusual blend of spices. I wanted to use this as a filling for burritoes, so I decreased the amount of liquid, using just two 10oz cans of Rotel tomatoes. After a little simmering, it thickened up nicely and made fantastic burritoes with some cheese sprinkled on top.

I loved the flavors that the combination of spices created. It was superb. However, it was a tad too watery. The consistency was perfect until I added the flour dilluted with 2 tablespoons of water, it then became too watery. Next time I make this dish, I will add the flour directly into the pot without diluting it in water first or just use less water overall. Perhaps then this dish will be a five star!

This stew/soup was fantastic. My husband doesn't like sweet potatoes or vegetables for that matter and he ate TWO bowls of this. It was just delish. I didn't change one thing, but my husband said it would have been better without the chicken. I think even a bit of sausage instead of the chicken might have worked. with a dollup of sour cream on the top, this recipe is going to be a favorite that's for sure!

This was something else! I made it with Sweet Corn Bread (a recipe found here on allrecipes). Great reviews from the family. Serve with cheddar cheese on top or sour cream.

I was surprised at how sweet the soup became from the potatoes. It was a bit too chunky for my tastes. The Italian seasoning was a little off in my opinion.

So Good! Slow Cooker this Bag Boy! Chop it all up, add it to the Slow Cooker. Cook for 8 hours on Low. Add Cilantro once it's done and you're good to go!

Mmmmmmm. This was fantastic! :) A great, unique twist on chili. I used black beans instead of kidney beans and a red pepper instead of a yellow (all I had!) but everything else followed the recipe exactly. I'm so glad I have leftovers!

This was incredible! I did cut down on the spice a bit, but didn't seem to hurt it one bit. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks for the great recipe. I'm looking forward to leftovers.

Omg. This is delicious. I did some things differently. I took user advice and used 2 cups of chicken broth instead of water and I used the low-sodium kind. I also used ground turkey instead of chicken because I just like ground turkey better. I increased the red pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp. because I love spicy! And I left out the garlic (family allergies), cilantro (not a fan) and cocoa powder (didn't have). I also used a yellow bell pepper instead of orange and butternut squash instead of sweet potato bc it was peeled and cubed in the Evolution section. And I used canned corn (Del Monte is my favorite) instead of frozen and added it in when I added the other veggies. Sooo good! I will try sweet potato next time. I was just lazy. ;)

Easily one of the best soups I've ever had! Everybody that I prepare it for absolutely loves it - and wants the recipe. I am not a pepper fan, so I omitted those and added a tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 cup salsa. Fantastic!! I also use almost double the amount of chicken stock, b/c I wanted more of a soup than a stew. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

Incredible! Great eating at dinnertime and even better leftovers. I cheated and used canned sweet potatoes, subbed black beans for kidney, and pre-made mole sauce for the red pepper and cocoa.

This was basically chili, only with sweet potatoes and more liquid. It tasted great, but I would just make chili next time instead of this.

This is a great recipe, with unusual, but excellent seasonings! I had extra time, so I let mine cook about 50-60 minutes, and I really didn't need the flour/water to thicken it. I was shy on the chili powder, but this appealed to my family more. But, what an excellent soup/stew!

This was a delicious. I was looking for something other than the typical stew or chili and this went above and beyond. So many wonderful flavors that meld together. It's a winter staple now! I don't like bell peppers so I used a can of mild chiles. I also don't like corn in soups, so I broke up tortilla chips - the authentic kind so they don't turn to mush. Instead of cocoa I had chocolate sauce on hand and added a squirt of that.
