For a richer flavor, try roasting the sweet potatoes before adding them to the broth. Roasting caramelizes the sugars and adds depth. If you don't have orange liqueur, a splash of orange juice or zest will also work. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. A pinch goes a long way! For a vegan option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and the half-and-half with coconut milk or other plant-based cream.
