Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, drained
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
• 3.5 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
• 4.5 cups vegetable broth, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and enough vegetable broth to cover sweet potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover saucepan, and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Stir chipotle peppers into the sweet potato mixture.

Step 3

Blend sweet potato mixture with an immersion blender until soup is smooth. Whisk heavy cream and lime juice into soup until smooth and heated through; season with salt.

Step 4

Serve each portion of soup topped with 2 tablespoons sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.
