This soup manages to be rich and creamy, and somehow also cleansing and soothing—perfect Post-Super Bowl fare. Whether you’re still celebrating the Giants’ big win, or quietly mourning the Pats’ fall from grace (like I am), you still need to eat—preferably something quick and healthy. Add cubed firm tofu, a handful of plump shrimp or cooked, shredded chicken, if you want to add a little protein.

Stir in the lime juice, broth, coconut milk, soy sauce and brown sugar. Cover and bring to a light boil. Add the sweet potatoes, cover and cook for 12-14 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve, garnished with the cilantro and the jalapeño and chili sauce, if desired.
