4 slices Bacon (chopped)

1 Red Onion (diced)

2 teaspoons Garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

1 pinch Cayenne Pepper

3 Sweet Potatoes (peeled & diced)

4 cups Chicken Broth

1 Lime Juice (from 1 lime)

Preparation

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve 1 tablespoon fat.

  3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if using.

  4. Add sweet potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

  5. Blend with immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. Stir in lime juice.
