Maple Bacon Sweet Potato Soup

Lay 3 slices of bacon on a greased pan.

Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C), flip once halfway through.

Dab off any extra oil and brush maple syrup on both sides of the bacon.

Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes (until the bacon is crispy).

Cut up the bacon into small pieces and set aside for garnishing the soup later.

Melt 1 Tbsp. of butter. Add in the onion, stir, and cook on medium heat until fragrant.

Add in the sweet potatoes, chicken broth, and spices. Cover and bring to a boil.

Let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes have softened. Add 2 tbsp of maple syrup and stir.

Then blend with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and blend in batches until smooth and well-combined.

Serve up and garnish with heavy cream (optional), the maple bacon, and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).

Enjoy!
