– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
– 1 cup milk or heavy cream

Instructions
1. – In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic in a little oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. – Add the diced sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are very soft.
3. – Carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth and creamy. Return the blended soup to the pot.
4. – Stir in the milk or cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. – Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives, a dollop of sour cream, and crispy croutons.
Notes

– Try garnishing with roasted pepitas, crumbled bacon, or a drizzle of olive oil.
– This soup freezes well, so feel free to make a double batch and save some for later.
