Sweet Potato Soup 

This Sweet Potato soup is the real deal.  Your entire family (kids and adults!) is going to declare this meal the best!  This soup is creamy, comforting and packed with vegetables (sweet potatoes, celery, carrots, red pepper, corn, onion and white beans!).  What’s not to love?

Sweet Potato Soup

And yes – you heard me correct, your kids are going to love this soup too!  If you’re looking for ways to introduce them to sweet potatoes, then this soup is the way to do it.   Even my 1 year old gladly picks the sweet potatoes up out of this soup and gobbles them down!

Over the weekend I was itching to make something with sweet potatoes so I decided to make a classic Fall recipe – Sweet Potato soup!  We love sweet potatoes so much, we might have to start growing our own sweet potatoes soon!
Cooking Sweet Potatoes in the Slow Cooker

What I love about cold weather soups is that they can be creamy (and cheesy) but you pack them full with vegetables! As I mentioned so many times before I’m in love with my slow cooker, so you’re going to love how easy this is!  

Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

First you’ll throw your cooked dice ham, corn, sweet potatoes, celery, red pepper, white beans and onion in the slow cooker.  And then add 5 cups of chicken broth.  By the way, this is such a great recipe to make with leftover ham, so make sure to bookmark it for the holidays! (Need another ham recipe? Make sure to try Italian Ham Sliders!).

How to Freeze Sweet Potato Soup

As a bonus, this soup is one of those dishes that tastes just as good as leftovers, so we usually enjoy these 2 nights in a row!  Make sure to serve with some crusty bread for delicious dipping too!  Love using your slow cooker? Make my Crockpot Bread! 

If you don’t want to eat leftovers right away, that’s ok too.  Just throw this soup it in some freezer bags, and when you’re ready to use defrost in the refrigerator the night before.

    This was a fabulous soup! I didn’t have time for the crock pot so I cooked in on the stove and it worked out marvelously.

    Thought this was wonderful. My only problem was the carrots weren’t cooked enough, a little crunchy. Everything else was perfect. Loved the flavor and putting sweet potatoes in soup was a new for me. Definitely worth making again! Thank you!

    That’s sounds real good Pamela. Anything that’s made in the slow cooker works for me. It’s just so easy and it’s such a great feeling coming home from work and smelling all that yumminess as you walk in the door. Pinned to try as soon as the weather turns a bit colder
