- Puree the sweet potatoes with the broth using an immersion blender until smooth.
- Stir half-and-half, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper into the pureed sweet potatoes; season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Toast pecans in the hot skillet until fragrant.

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- To avoid dirtying a blender and a bowl, use an immersion blender right in the pot.
- Optionally, saute onions and garlic in a small amount of oil or butter in the pot before adding sweet potatoes.
- Any ingredient can be substituted: you can use butternut squash instead of the sweet potatoes; 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract instead of the liqueur; vegetable stock or water instead of the chicken stock; different spices, according to your own taste.
- If you like your soup sweeter, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar.
