1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil

1/4 cup hatch green chile
2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard seed

1 tablespoon unrefined sea salt
2 quarts Roast Chicken Stock 
Sour Cream, to serve
Minced Cilantro, to serve 

In the oven, roast sweet potatoes and shallots wrapped in foil at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place sweet potatoes and shallots in the blender with the remaining ingredients (if you have a small blender you will have to do this in batches). Pour into a pot and simmer for 10 minutes or until heated.  Ladle the soup into bowls and top with sour cream (or greek yogurt) and cilantro. You may crumple bacon on top for more flavor.
