It was the night before I was leaving to visit my family over Thanksgiving, & I had one lone sweet potato left in the produce basket. And that sweet potato inspired me to invent my own recipe.
It's quick & uses mostly things you're likely to have on hand.
Sweet Potato, Peas, & White Bean Soup
olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
~ 4 cups veggie stock
1 sweet potato, peeled & chopped into small cubes
~ 1 cup frozen peas
1 can white beans
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
salt & pepper, to taste
1. Heat olive oil in soup pot over medium-high heat. Lightly cook garlic for about 3 minutes.
2. Add sweet potato & stock, & bring to boil. Simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Add peas, white beans, rosemary, salt, & pepper. Cook another 5-10 minutes until peas & beans are heated through.
4. Serve with good bread for dipping.
Makes 2-3 servings.
