When I need something cozy and hassle free, this sweet potato soup is my go to recipe. It is thick, rich, and full of aromatic spices that make the whole house smell wonderful while it cooks in the slow cooker.

I love this dish because the slow cooker does all the hard work for me. It is the perfect one pot meal for busy days or holiday gatherings when you need to save space on the stovetop for other dishes.

Ingredients

6 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons almond butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1
Place the diced sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, minced garlic, minced ginger, almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cayenne pepper into your slow cooker.
2
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender when poked with a fork.
3
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the slow cooker until it is smooth and creamy.
4
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 30 minutes on low heat.
5
Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving with your favorite toppings.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you plan to freeze the soup, do so before adding the heavy cream, as dairy can separate during freezing and thawing. When serving, top with roasted pumpkin seeds, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or crispy bacon bits.
