Servings: persons

1 chipolet chili
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
2 large dark sweet potatos, peeled & diced
4 cups vegetable broth
Pinch salt
2 - 3 cobs of corn
1/2 cup sour cream
juice & rind from 1 small lime
small handful cilantro, minced

1
Place the chipotle into a small heat-proof bowl. Cover with boiling water and let sit for 15 minutes or so.
2
Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the onion and celery; reduce the heat to medium and saute, stirring, until the vegetables start to get tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin seeds and stir until aromatic, about another minute. Add the potatoes, vegetable broth and a pinch of salt.
3
Squeeze the water out of the chipotle chilli, remove and discard the seeds, chop finely and add it to the soup. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, cut the kernels from the cobs (alternately, you could use 2 cups (480 ml) of frozen corn that you have thawed). Add the corn to the soup and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Taste for salt.
5
Combine the olive oil, lime juice, lime rind and cilantro in a small bowl. Divide the soup into bowls, spoon on a dollop of sour cream, drizzle with the oil mixture and serve immediately.
