  • Tomato Paste – It brings a tangy kick and a gorgeous, deep color to the soup. It balances the richness of the other ingredients perfectly.
  • Peanut Butter – This adds creaminess and a slight nutty sweetness. It thickens the soup and adds extra richness, making every spoonful decadent.

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients – Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes. Next, chop the onion and mince the garlic. This will help the flavors meld together easily in the slow cooker.
