We loved this stew. Great flavors and textures. Used chicken broth instead of water and omitted the red pepper for the kiddies. Even my three and a half year old liked it! Grade: A

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.

I loved this soup. I didn't have chicken so I used ground spicy sausage and it turned out great! I was looking forward to the leftovers but the soup never made it that far. Thanks!

So very good and easy to change up if you want to. I just tasted a little bit and now I cant wait till dinner! I made it early so it could sit and infuse before dinner.

YUM! I usually make changes to most recipes, but this one is great as is! I recommend that you make it in advance, so that the flavors get a chance to meld together. I usually let it cook down a bit so that it's a thicker stew. I like to serve it over white rice, or plain noodles.It's a fabulous hearty meal.

I read the reviews and yes, it is better the next day. I took it to a soup night and everyone raved about it. I was actually surprised someone could smell the cinammon (ok, maybe I put a tad too much).

This meal was delicious! I feed 9 people of a meal time and it was a huge hit. I doubled the recipe and only had one pepper so I used that plus some chopped mushrooms. I substituted the water for all chicken broth and just before serving I added about 3oz of cream cheese. My husband and I both tried the stew before adding the cream cheese and he was a little hesitant about that idea as he felt it was great without it, but I just felt like something a bit cozier (it was a really cold day up here in Canada!) so I took the plunge and added it. It just gave it a subtle creamy feel without taking away the really nice flavor of the original recipe. I will definately be making this again and I think next time I will try it in my slow cooker. Thanks!

This stew is great. I've made it twice; this time I subbed plain pepper flakes for chipotle flakes and it was still awesome.

This soup came out very good. I used yams instead of sweet potatoes because yams aren't as mushy. I also took the suggestion and used white beans. I added garbanzo beans as well.

My boyfriend absolutely loved this recipe. I liked it as well even though I'm not a huge sweet potato fan. I made a couple of changes to ensure that it was flavorful enough for our tastes. I rubbed the chicken with a mixture of chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper and let it sit for a couple hours and then grilled it before cutting it up to use in the stew. I also used diced tomatoes with jalapenos for a little more spice. I loved everything about this recipe, just wish I loved sweet potatoes!

Fantastic! Super-tasty soup and very easy to make and uses only one pot (I cooked the chicken in my large pot, set the cooked chicken aside and proceeded with the recipe). The cumin, cinnamon and cocoa makes for a freaky-good stew. The most time-consuming/difficult part was chopping some of the ingredients. My tweaks: I used Del Monte diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, replaced the water with chicken stock, and skipped the red pepper flakes. It was mild enough with a nice little kick. The only unsweetened cocoa powder I had was a dark variety so I only used 1/2 tsp. Also, instead of adding the 2T. of water to the flour, I just spooned some of the boiling soup into a separate bowl and used that. This makes a really great meal with bread/chips & salsa.

This recipe is a fantastic twist on traditional chicken soup/stew with a mexican flare. The nutrients from the chicken, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes make it a great alternative to chicken noodle soup, especially during "cold/flu season". Instead of dissolving the flour in 2 Tbsp. water, I used 2 Tbsp. lime juice and served each bowl with a lime wedge. The lime juice creats a delicious contrast against the cilantro. Also, I suggest using at least 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. of chicken. 1 lb. of chicken seems to get lost in all the other flavors.
