Title: John's Sweet Potato Soup w/Chilies
Categories: Potaotes, Soups, Chilies, Dairy, Citrus
Yield: 4 Servings

2 tb Butter
2 ts Cumin seed
1 lg Onion, minced
4 cl Garlic; minced
2 sm Sweet potatoes; peeled,
- diced
2 1/2 c Chicken stock or broth
1/2 c Cream
Juice of two limes
1 Chipotle; seeded, minced
4 oz Can chopped green chilies
Salt & pepper
2 tb Chopped cilantro
Crushed tortilla chips; to
- serve

Heat butter in a pot, add cumin seed and toast for one
minute, stirring often. Add onion and garlic and saut
until onion is transparent. Add potatoes, stock and cream.
Cook on medium heat until the potatoes are tender. Add
lime juice and chilies. Puree with a hand blender until
smooth. Add salt and pepper, then stir in cilantro.

Serve with crushed tortilla chips.

Notes: Could garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a
lime slice. Can be served chilled but I enjoyed it warm.
This is a creamy soup and it is essential to use a hand
blender. I have made this and it is unbelievable that
something so easy to prepare can taste so wonderful. Ten
minutes of cooking should result in tender potatoes
depending on how finely they were diced. If this doesn't
generate compliments from your dinner guests they don't
have any taste buds and shouldn't be invited back. I used
vegetable stock to make a vegetarian version but the cream
and butter would disqualify this from being vegan.

This will make 4 generous servings or six smaller servings.

... I've had an elegant sufficiency; any more would be a superfluity.
