Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place a large stockpot over medium-high heat and add the oil and onions. Saute the onions until they're golden brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking for a few minutes more. Garlic burns much faster than onions, so adding it later keeps that from happening.

Pour in the broth and stir in the grated sweet potatoes. Bring to a simmer and then add the chipotle pepper, cinnamon, cumin and salt. Continue simmering until the sweet potatoes soften.

Carefully puree using a blender, food processor or immersion blender. Taste and add a bit more salt if you like. You may also thin the soup by adding 1 cup (250 mL) or so more of water or broth.

As the soup simmers get the garnishes ready. Stir the cilantro into the sour cream. Roll the tortilla into a thick cigar shape, slice thinly and place on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 15 minutes.

Ladle the soup into festive soup bowls, top with a dollop of cilantro sour cream, sprinkle on some crisp tortilla chips and top with a sprig of cilantro for garnish.
