The smoky-sweet flavors are abundant in this quick and simple soup that packs a punch! To give it more oomph, I prefer to double the chipotle. Before serving, drizzle with a little additional cream and sprinkle garlic croutons over top.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped

- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper, or more to taste

- 3 teaspoons vegetable bouillon base (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
- 3 cups hot water
- ½ cup fresh orange juice

Instructions
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function; heat olive oil. Saute onion and garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper, and salt. Stir for 1 minute then turn cooker off.
- Dissolve vegetable bouillon in hot water. Pour into the pot with orange juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
- Blend soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in heavy cream. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Substitute coconut milk for the cream to make it vegan.
- Feel free to use any vegetable stock.
- If you do not have an immersion blender, blend soup in a blender in batches.
