Directions
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potato chunks, poblano peppers, and shallots. Season with salt and pepper, then sauté until potatoes begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo then sauté until cooked through, breaking it up as the sausage cooks. Drain any excess grease, then stir in garlic and cook for additional 30 seconds.
Add the remaining ingredients, (aside from the cheese), then stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once chili starts to boil, turn the heat down to medium-low then place lid partially on top, simmering until the sweet potatoes are completely tender, 15-20 minutes. Add the goat cheese to the soup and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted.
