Play with the spices, swapping out the thyme and cumin for other favorite mixes.

Chili powder or fresh ginger would both be fantastic.

This is a great way to use up leftovers in the fridge.

Serve it with just a green salad and some hearty, crusty bread for dipping and cleaning the bowl.

Toss so all pieces are well coated with olive oil and seasonings.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat chicken stock in a saucepan on the stovetop until steamy.

Place the cooked sweet potatoes and shallots in a blender and add the hot chicken stock.

So, depending on the size of your blender you may need to work in batches.

Or use an immersion blender.

Taste for seasoning, add more salt and pepper to taste.

Serve in bowls with a dollop of sour cream (if using).

Leftovers will keep for about a week, or freeze for up to three months.
