Preparation

In large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and chili powder; sauté and cook, stirring, for about 5 min or until soft. Add stock and sweet potatoes; bring to simmer. Simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 min.

In blender or food processor or with immersion blender, purée until very smooth. Return soup to pot (if necessary) and reheat over medium-low heat until steaming. Stir in milk and lime juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat, stirring, until steaming.

In a small bowl, lightly whip cream until thickened but does not form peaks. Gently stir three-quarters into soup. Ladle soup into warmed bowls; drizzle with remaining whipped cream on top of each serving.
