A good sweet potato soup should be creamy without feeling heavy, warmly spiced without tasting dusty, and bright enough that every spoonful stays interesting. Mexican-inspired seasonings make that balance easy: earthy cumin, smoky chili powder, fresh lime, garlic, onion, and a little heat all work beautifully with the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
