Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 pounds total) Sweet potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Carrot
- 2 Celery stalks
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Evaporated skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the carrots and celery into small pieces.
In a 6-quart Crock Pot, combine the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, carrots, and celery.
Pour in the vegetable broth and water, ensuring the vegetables are fully submerged.
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to distribute the spices.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup in the Crock Pot until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the evaporated skim milk until fully combined, reheating for a few minutes if necessary. Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
