Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Adjust the oven rack to the middle position.

Bake sweet potatoes directly on the rack in the preheated oven until soft, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Peel sweet potatoes and place flesh in a blender. Purée in batches with chicken broth, using enough broth so it blends smoothly. Transfer puréed mixture to a large saucepan.

Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream.

Recipe Tip

You can cook sweet potatoes in the microwave if you prefer.
