Preparation

1. Put the sweet potatoes, onion, chicken broth, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg into a slow-cooker. Cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low, until the sweet potatoes are soft.
2. When ready to serve, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels.
3. Add the milk into the slow-cooker and puree until smooth using an immersion blender. Then turn slow cooker to warm. Alternately, you can blend soup in small batches in a blender.
4. Add the bacon and maple syrup to the skillet. Cook the bacon until crisp, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel lined plate.
5. Ladle the soup into bowls (about 1-1/2 cups each) and top with bacon.
