Slow Cooker Sweet Potato and Apple Soup

The perfect amount of sweetness in the perfect Fall soup!
Prep Time20 minutes minutes
Cook Time9 hours hours
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 apple, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pork Broth or water
  • Asparagus
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Homemade Buns

Instructions

  • Roast sweet potatoes in baking dish with 1/4 water and covered with foil at 350F for an hour. Remove from oven, let cool and peel off skins. I did this last night while baking the oven fries.
  • Chop onion, celery and thinly slice apple. Place all into a slow cooker with sweet potatoes, pork broth and water. I used 4 cups of liquid. Cook on low 8-10 hours. When done, puree with immersion hand blender.
  • Before dinner, drizzle EVOO over asparagus, let soak for 30 minutes. Saute 3-5 minutes until turn bright green and are still slightly crisp. Serve with warm sweet potato soup and homemade bread machine rolls!

    Since it is going to be pureed anyway, you could probably save a significant amount of money by replacing the asparagus with broccoli. But I do enjoy asparagus!

    Erin, will your kids actually eat this? My kids are somewhat picky and there’s no way I could get them to! You have any tips on that 🙂

    This looks like a really good meatless meal! I can’t wait to hear how you like it. And I’ve never tried asparagus the way you fix it, I’ve always boiled it. Perhaps I’ll have to try your way!

    I don’t use sweet potatoes in my recipes nearly enough. This is a very economical dish.

    It looks delicious! I usually am not a fan of sweet potatoes, but I think I’d like them in a soup.

    This looks great! I’m trying to find new ways to incorporate sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. This looks yummy!
