Sweet Potato Chowder

[Guest guest]

I've made this in a crockpot by dumping in all the ingredients except

cornstarch in the morning and just letting it go about 8-10 hours. Add the

cornstarch mixture just before serving.

 

I've also substituted frozen spinach for the fresh kale and skipped the bay

leaves altogether and it's just as tasty.

 

I don't remember where I got it, so if anyone knows the original author

please let me know so I can change it in Mastercook.
