Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
4 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups half-and-half (or heavy cream)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
2
Add sweet potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
3
Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
4
Add ginger, nutmeg and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
5
Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
6
Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
7
Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.
