For a milder flavor, start with half the can of chipotle peppers and add more to taste. A dollop of plain Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch.
A vibrant and smoky sweet potato soup infused with the fiery warmth of chipotle peppers. Adjust the heat to your preference and experience a delightful dance of sweet and spicy flavors.
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until softened, about 3-5 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.
Stir chipotle peppers into the sweet potato mixture.
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.
Serve each portion of soup topped with 2 tablespoons sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.
