Sweet Potato Stew

Again adding some of the recipes from my facebook. This is a great fall stew or I think a soup! Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Stew

1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup grated peeled sweet potato
1 cup chicken or reduced-sodium vegetable broth or water
2 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
1 cup fat-free half-n-half
Black pepper to taste
¼ cup minced fresh parsley

1. Place onion, celery, sweet potato, broth and bacon in crock-pot or slow cooker. Cover; cook on LOW 6 hours.
2. Increase heat to HIGH. Add half-n-half, using just enough to bring stew to desired consistency. Add more water, if needed. Cook 30 minutes on HIGH or until hot.
3. Season to taste with pepper. Stir in parsley.
Makes 4 servings.
