    Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Pork Stew - this comforting stew is perfect for chilly days and it takes only 10 minutes of prep! 

    Pork Stew with Sweet Potatoes

    There is snow in the forecast for this week and yesterday we woke up to frigid temperatures. Needless to say, I am not ready for winter. I don't like cold and the snow covered world looks great through the window when I can be comfy in our warm house.

    This weather definitely makes us crave comfort foods and my slow cooker is working over-time. I love it when all it takes but 10 minutes of prep in the morning and the comforting, yummy soup cooks by itself until dinner time.

    My girls have their dance classes on Tuesday and now that the days are shorter and colder, we come home late and after dark. It is so nice to come home to the welcoming smell of dinner cooking in the slow cooker. I made this pork stew with sweet potatoes last week and it was just the perfect dinner to come home to.

    I love pairing sweet potatoes with pork. They both just complement each other so well. In this recipe, I used a medium pork roast that was quickly braised just before I placed it with veggies in the crockpot. Then set everything for 6 hours on low setting and let it cook to perfection.

    In this soup, I used baby carrots because all you need to do is chop them and throw them in and they are sweeter than regular carrots and go well with the sweet potatoes and pork. It's a shortcut and a fitting ingredient. You can use apple cider or apple juice in this recipe as well. Just be aware that it will make this stew sweet which not everyone might like, since the potatoes and carrots are already adding sweetness. If not using the apple cider, use water or stock.

    This chunky and very tasty stew will easily become your favorite go-to slow cooker soup!
