Step by Step Method

Step 1

Melt butter in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add leeks and saute until soft and transparent.

Step 2

Add the stock, wine, and sweet potatoes. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the lime zest and juice, milk, and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Puree the soup in batches in a blender until very smooth.

Step 5

If you are serving the soup hot, gently heat it and serve it with Peanut Noshes (found here: https://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/mothers-day-peanut-noshes-44947). If you are serving the soup cold, refrigerate it for several hours and serve it garnished with thinly sliced lime wedges. Either cold or hot imho; you can serve it with the lime slices.
