Soup is for all times and for all seasons, but this soup sings of spring to us. The sweet potato, firm outside and tender inside, living up to its name by lending a sweet, filling touch to the proceedings. Slightly spicy poblano and sweet corn are obvious clarion calls for sunshine… but the sour cream, guacamole, and tortillas on top? Our bowl is already clean: nothing better in any season than soup. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off 1/4" along its length and cut that section into 1/2" dice. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from while you dice remaining sweet potato.
