Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

1 cup carrots, diced

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish

Chili flakes for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Prepare the carrots by dicing them into bite-sized pieces.

    Sauté (optional): In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-5 minutes). Then, add the garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. This step enhances the flavors but can be skipped if you're short on time.

      Layer in the Crockpot: Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the crockpot. Add the diced sweet potatoes and carrots.

        Combine the Liquids: Pour the vegetable broth and coconut milk over the vegetables. Stir in the maple syrup, if using, and season with salt and pepper.

          Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the sweet potatoes and carrots are tender.

            Blend the Soup: Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the crockpot until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend just half of the soup and stir it back in.

              Final Seasoning: Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or maple syrup if desired.

                Serve: Ladle the creamy sweet potato soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra kick, if desired.

                  Enjoy! Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
