Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Soup is easy slow cooker perfection for your busy nights. 

We are knee deep in the busyness of school activities. This year, I am allowing each kid to be involved in one activity outside of school or church. Julia chose the school play and Nate chose track. Even though we are doing a good job of limiting our time commitments outside the home, there are still days that we are barely home in time for dinner together. Those are the days I rely on my crock pot to still get us around the table, talking, and enjoying each other’s company as the day winds down.

I am drawn to the idea of making cauliflower and sweet potato play together and decided to make a hearty soup for everyone.

It took no time at all! Prep everything in the morning in under twenty minutes while the kids get ready for school.
