1 Tbsp (15 mL) Tex-Mex seasoning

Directions
Melt butter in large saucepan set over medium heat; cook onion, garlic, celery and carrot for about 5 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add jalapeño and Tex-Mex seasoning; cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over top; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add sweet potato, milk and broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender.
