This creamy soup combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the savory depth of chicken gravy, enhanced by aromatic onions, garlic, and a hint of chili for a touch of warmth.

Instructions:
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.
- Chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and regular potatoes to the pot.
- Sprinkle the chili powder over the vegetables and stir well to coat.
- Pour in the chicken gravy, making sure that the vegetables are fully submerged. If needed, add a little water to ensure everything is covered.
- Bring the soup to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in the light sour cream until it is fully incorporated and the soup is creamy.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optional: Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, chopped fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of chili powder for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Roast the sweet potatoes and potatoes before adding them to the soup for an extra layer of flavor.
- Use a blender or immersion blender to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, or crispy bacon bits for added taste and presentation.
