Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep, flame-proof casserole dish or cast-iron pot over a medium heat. Tip in the onion and red pepper with a large pinch of salt and cook for 15 mins, stirring often, until softened.
Toss in the sweet potato and chipotle paste, stirring to combine. Cook for 5-6 mins until the spices smell fragrant, then pour over the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-12 mins, until the sweet potato is cooked through and tender.
Leave to cool slightly, then blend in a high-powered jug blender or with a hand blender until smooth. Divide between four bowls, then swirl through some soured cream and scatter over some chives to serve. Serve with crusty bread.
To freeze, leave to cool completely and transfer to a freezer-proof container. Will keep frozen for up to three months. To reheat, tip into a large flame-proof casserole dish and thaw on a low heat. Once mostly defrosted, turn the heat up to medium, stirring often, until piping hot.
