      Kick Winter’s Chill with Hearty Chowder

      by

      by Family Features | ContributorColder, shorter days call for a little comfort. Cozying up with a hearty meal on brisk winter evenings can help fight off the chill while savoring favorite flavors alongside the ones you love.Avoid venturing into the cold for a trip to the store by turning to a pantry staple like sweet potatoes. As one of the most versatile veggies, they’re easy to add to a variety of recipes while enhancing both flavor and nutrition. Perfectly suitable for both simple and elevated dishes, they can be baked, microwaved, grilled, slow cooked or prepared on the stove so their sweet taste never goes out of style.Their long shelf life – up to four weeks if stored properly in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources – means you can rely on sweet potatoes throughout the winter as an on-hand ingredient. Additionally, as a “diabetes superfood” according to the American Diabetes Association, they’re rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, all of which are good for overall health and may help prevent disease, making them a key source of nutrients during wintertime.When your family needs a warm-up on those frosty days, put sweet potatoes at the center of mealtime (with an added kick) in this Jalapeno Sweet Potato Chowder. Loaded with the flavors of winter comfort, it’s a filling meal that makes enough for a crowd so no one goes hungry.Visit ncsweetpotatoes.com to find more comforting meal ideas.Jalapeno Sweet Potato ChowderRecipe courtesy of the North Carolina Sweet Potato CommissionServings: 62          large North Carolina sweet potatoes, baked1          small onion, 1/4-inch diced2          tablespoons olive oil1          quart chicken or vegetable stock2          cups cooked chicken, cubed1 1/2    cups whole corn kernels2          teaspoons minced jalapenos1/2       cup heavy cream1          teaspoon saltchopped scallions, for garnishPeel baked sweet potatoes; discard skin and puree.In soup pot, saute onion in butter until softened.
