Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 sweet potatos
1000g
3 potatoes
600g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
4 cups chicken gravy
800g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.
- Chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
- 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.
3. Cook the Vegetables
- 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.
4. Simmer the Soup
- 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.
5. Blend the Soup
- 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.
6. Add Sour Cream
- Stir in the light sour cream until it is fully incorporated and the soup is creamy.
7. Season and Serve
- 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.
