Tips + Storage Information
healthy: Sweet potatoes are rich in nutrients and high in beta-carotene. They are an excellent vegetable for fall. This soup is also very healthy as there is almost no fat in the recipe. The only alternative you can make to make it healthier is to use turkey bacon.
Cylinder: To make in a crock pot, you need to peel and cube the sweet potatoes before putting them in the slow cooker, then add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 5-6 hours. After that, puree it with an immersion blender or let it cool a bit before making smaller batches with the blender.
Coconut Milk: Some people like to add coconut milk or coconut cream to make the soup creamier. This is a great dairy-free option that creates a smoother consistency.
mix: We used a typical stand mixer for this recipe, but if you only have an immersion mixer, you can make it work. You need to find a large bowl or pot to mix all the ingredients together. Use your immersion blender to make the mixture nice and smooth.
