Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potato and cut it into uniform 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
Toss the sweet potato cubes on the baking sheet with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Roast for 25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
While the potatoes roast, poach the chicken breast in a small pot of simmering water for 12-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the water and use two forks to shred it into fine, bite-sized pieces.
Place the roasted sweet potatoes into a high-speed blender along with the vegetable broth, garlic powder, and coconut milk.
Blend on high speed for 60 seconds until the consistency is completely velvety and smooth.
Pour the warm soup into a serving bowl and stir in the shredded chicken until well combined.
