Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 4 ½ cups vegetable broth, or as needed
  • 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, drained
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

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.
