Steps:

• In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and chili powder; sauté for about 5 minutes or until soft. Add broth and sweet potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer to a blender or food processor, in batches, or use an immersion blender in the pot and purée until very smooth, adding some of the milk if necessary to thin. Return soup to pot, if necessary. Stir in milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring until steaming, but do not let boil.
• In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch into 1/2 cup of the yogurt. Stir into soup; heat stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in salt and season to taste with pepper. Stir lime zest and juice into remaining yogurt. Ladle soup into warmed bowls; dollop lime yogurt on top of each serving.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO, LIME AND CHIPOTLE SOUP WITH SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F. Mix sweet potatoes, onions, thyme and sage in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and salt, and toss to coat. Spoon mixture onto a baking sheet, spreading vegetables out in a single layer. Place baking sheet in oven and roast until vegetables are caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
• Remove vegetables from oven and process in a blender until pureed. Slowly add chicken broth and process until smooth. Pour soup into a large saucepan and add chiles, lime juice, sugar, nutmeg and pepper. Bring soup to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Remove and discard the whole chipotle chiles, stir in cream and adjust seasonings. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with green onion, fried sweet potato chips and crema.
• Make the sweet potato chips: Peel sweet potato. Using a mandoline or food processor fitted with the 2 millimeter slicing blade, cut into 1/1-6 inch slices, lengthwise.
• Heat oil in a large stock pot or saucepan to deep-fry temperature (350 degrees F). Fry sweet potatoes, a handful at a time, until pale golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt. Reserve a day or two in plastic bags.
• For the crema: Whisk the cream and buttermilk together. Cover and set in a warm place (a gas oven with just the heat from the pilot is fine) for 8 hours. Crema may be kept in the refrigerator as long as a week.

• When baking sheet is hot, remove from oven. Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on sheet. Return to oven; cook until potatoes are crisp and golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn, and continue cooking until golden all over, about 15 minutes more.

Scatter a handful of coarsely chopped cilantro over them, if you like.
