Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve 1 tablespoon fat. To pot, add onions and cook until slightly softened 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if using.
Step 2

Add sweet potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, 27 to 30 minutes.
Step 3

Blend with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. Stir in lime juice.
Step 4

Serve warm topped with chopped bacon.
