Why I was inspired to make this recipe?

Bean stews were a favorite of mine, but the beans upset my stomach. Since this one used a lighter bean, it didn't bother me as much. It is a hardy dish and a wonderful option for my family.

What ingredients are in the Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Bean Stew Recipe?

You probably have all of these ingredients in your pantry (affiliate) or refrigerator except for the chipotle seasoning for this easy soup recipe.

  • 2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • ½ red onion chopped
  • ½ cup of tomato sauce (affiliate)
  • 2 cups or 16 oz can of cannellini beans
  • 1 lb pound of sweet potatoes - peeled and chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle seasoning
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon parsley dried
  • 1 tablespoon basil dried
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic cloves

Recipe Tips:

If you can't find these beans, you can use great northern beans, navy beans, pinto beans, black beans, or kidney beans.

I used a 4.5-quart slow cooker (affiliate), if you want to use a large-pot slow cooker, you must double this recipe.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Of course, you can! Let the dish cool a bit before freezing it for later. Then, place it in the refrigerator to defrost before reheating in a saucepan.

Substitutions You Can Use

Feel free to try these substitutions and add-ons for this recipe if you do not have dietary issues.

  • Add bread - Pick a delicious piece of crusty bread for a wonderful addition to this dish.
  • For a thicker sauce - If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste.

Variations

This recipe has some variations you may want to try them.

  • Less spicy - If you don't want it too spicy, reduce the amount to ⅛ or just a pinch of chipotle seasoning.
  • Add some extra flavor - add some lime juice to the top of each bowl at the end for a fresh flavor.
  • Add more Flavor - add a bay leaf (affiliate) and/or chili powder to this dish to infuse some other flavors.
  • Sweeten the dish - if you want, you can add some brown sugar (affiliate) to the recipe.

Equipment Used for This Recipe

I used a 4.5-quart slow cooker. Below is one from Amazon (affiliate) (affiliate).

Save Time Tips and Storage:

This recipe can be cooked in the slow cooker and refrigerated for the next day's dinner. It thickens up nicely and infuses the chipotle flavoring too. It may get a little spicier the longer it sits.
