You can make Moroccan Lentil Sweet Potato soup on the stovetop or in the slow cooker.
For the Stove: Heat Olive oil in a large pan and saute onions and carrots until onions are transparent. This should take you less than 5 minutes. Next, add garlic, ginger, and spices. Saute for another two minutes.
Add broth, sweet potatoes, and lentils and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat, cover and simmer on low for about 30 minutes.
For the crockpot version: You can add everything to your crockpot and set it on low for 6-8 hours. If you have time to saute the onions and carrots, go for it. Otherwise, feel free to skip it. Slow cooker recipes that involve saute work make me angry:)
