Slow Cooker Spiced Sweet Potato Soup

Fall slow cooker soup

• 3 lbs Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Cut Into 1 Inch Cubes
• 1 Medium Yellow Onion, Chopped
• 5 cups Chicken Broth
• ½ tsp. Salt
• ¼ tsp. Cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. Nutmeg
• 1 cup Cream
• 6 Slices Bacon, Chopped
• 2 tsp. Pure Maple Syrup

Instructions:

Put the sweet potatoes, onion, chicken broth, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in the slow-cooker. Cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low, until the sweet potatoes are soft.

When ready to serve, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels.

Add the cream to the slow-cooker and puree until smooth using an immersion blender, set aside on warm. Alternatively, blend in batches in a blender. Add the bacon and maple syrup to the skillet. Cook the bacon until crisp, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel lined plate.

Ladle the soup into bowls (about 1 ½ cups each) and top with bacon (or parsley)
