Crock Pot Sweet Potato Bisque is a filling, thick, and creamy soup made in a slow cooker that is savory with a hint of sweetness.
Soup is just one of those things that feels natural to make in a slow cooker.
Sweet potatoes rock for giving you good quality carbohydrates plus lots of nutrients. They are also great for satisfying your sweet tooth {I have a huge sweet tooth}.
Yes, this is a savory recipe but eating sweet potatoes helps my sweet tooth for some reason ~ sweet veggies {like sweet potatoes and onions, which are both in this soup} are thought to help quell your sweet tooth.
Plus having a warm bowl of soup is great in this chilly, flaky weather we are having.
I added some chicken from my Perfect Roasted Chicken to add some good protein. You can also add some cooked chickpeas or just eat this as a starter or side dish.
Feel free to use thyme in place of the rosemary, but I love the combination of rosemary and sweet potatoes.
This soup is thick and creamy. It's savory with a hint of sweetness. The fiber also makes this really filling, so a little goes a long way.

This soup is perfect for this harsh winter we are having. Did you run the New Orleans Rock & Roll Half? That was one of my fav halfs ever - did it about 4 years ago and haven't run one since ๐ Congrats!
