We have been enjoying a lot of sweet potato as it has been relatively cheap here recently. I managed to pick some up here at the local fruit and vegetable shop for 89c per kilo. Though, these were not your average sized sweet potatoes. Most of them were 2kg and over in size. Even though, I still purchased a lot and we have been enjoying them roasted and mashed, until I decided to try something different with it. This slow cooker sweet potato soup is delicious and great for a cool winter’s night.
To make this yummy, warming soup, you will need:
- 1.5 kg (3lbs) sweet potatoes
- 1 onion
- 2 carrots
- 2 stalks of celery
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1L (4 cups) vegetable stock
- 1 cup coconut milk or cream
- salt and pepper to taste
After cooking the ingredients in a slow cooker, you will need to let the mixture cool a little before putting it in a blender to make it smooth. We enjoyed this soup with crusty bread warmed up in the oven.
