For a richer flavor, consider roasting the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully purée the soup in a regular blender in small batches. Be cautious when blending hot liquids. For a vegan option, substitute the sour cream garnish with coconut cream or a vegan sour cream alternative.
