2 tablespoons butter |
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped |
1 vidalia onion, finely chopped |
1/2 -inch knob ginger, peeled and finely chopped |
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper |
1 chipotle pepper, canned in adobo sauce |

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 2 pounds) |

sour cream, for serving, optional |
Directions:
1. Add the butter to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts and becomes foamy, add the garlic, onions and ginger and saute until tender and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chipotle pepper and saute for 1 minute longer while breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, apple cider and sweet potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
