- Once boiling, turn heat down to medium-low, cover pot, and simmer until the sweet potato cubes are tender (approximately 30 minutes); stir soup often.
- Once the sweet potatoes have softened, turn heat off and briefly let soup cool.
- Puree soup, in batches if necessary, in a blender or food processor (pureeing piping hot soup can be dangerous); once done, return pureed soup to pot.
- Stir in cream and frozen baby peas.

- Garnish each bowl with a teaspoon of minced fresh cilantro, if desired.
