Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large shallots peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced into large pieces
- 1 pound carrots (about 6) peeled and chopped
- 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
- In a small skillet, heat the oil and butter on medium until butter melts. Add shallots and thyme. Cook 4 minutes until shallots are golden, stirring often.
- Transfer to a slow cooker bowl. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, and water. Season with salt. Cover and cook on low 3–4 hours, until sweet potatoes are very tender.
- In a blender, purée soup in batches until smooth. Be sure to keep the lid a little off and hold a towel over it - otherwise the heat will make the lid fly!
- Stir in the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the parsley.
Recipe Tips
