Push the pork and sweet potatoes gently to one side of the slow cooker, then whisk the flour mixture into the other side to help keep the sweet potatoes intact.
Decorated with a colourful mixed peppercorn crust, this pâté makes a festive presentation. It is lighter than most traditional pâtés because it uses light cream cheese instead of butter.
Though the dark leek tops are too tough for this soup, they would add lots of flavour to the stockpot.
Soups are great for your weekly dinner repertoire – there are endless flavour combinations and they're easy to prepare. If you enjoy a little heat, leave the seeds in the chilies.
Lemon wedges, a bottle of hot sauce and plenty of napkins are the only accompaniments needed. These are also delicious served cold for lunch the next day.
If desired, garnish with shavings of Parmesan cheese or drizzle with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil.
This is a fantastic family-friendly soup.
Serve with Tossed Salad and round out the meal with Quick Strawberry Shortcake (see recipe links below).
