4 servings
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced

- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

- ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
For serving
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions

Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until foamy. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne (if using) and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
