Increase the heat to high and add the jalapeno, sweet potatoes, 4 cups of the broth, and the salt.
5
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
6
In a blender, puree the soup in batches until very smooth.
7
Rinse and dry the pot and return the pureed soup to it.
8
Add the remaining broth and the cream, if using, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
9
Add the lime juice and brown sugar, and season with salt and white pepper to taste.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
