I really, really loved this soup. It was the first time I ever used sweet potatoes and I liked it alot. I didn't have chile oil, but added a little bit of sweet chili sauce to it and it was wonderful. I drank 3 big cups of it, so that says a lot. My husband didn't care for this soup, but I'm the one who makes and reviews, so for me it's a real keeper! Thanks for posting, I will look through your ther soup recipes!
