Add the chipotle in abodo and the sweet potatoes and stir to combine.

Ad the vegetable stock and turn up the heat.

Once the soup comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are very soft, about 30 minutes.

Remove and discard the cilantro.

Carefully puree the soup in a blender and transfer to bowls. Garnish each bowl with a few of the reserved cilantro leaves.
