Sweet Potato Minestrone Soup

Ingredients

•1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

•3/4 cup diced onion

•1/2 cup diced celery

•2 cups diced peeled sweet potatoes

•1 can (440gms) mixed beans, rinsed and drained

•1 can (440 gms) no-salt-added diced tomatoes

•3 cups of water

•3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

•1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

•1/8 teaspoon black pepper

•2 cups coarsely chopped kale leaves (lightly packed)

•4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Directions

•Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir 4 minutes or until onion is softened. Stir water, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes, rosemary, salt, if desired, and pepper into a saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

•Add kale; cover and cook 10 minutes or until tender.

•Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with cheese.

Note: Choose kale in small bunches with firm leaves and rich, deep colour. Avoid bunches with limp, wilted, or discoloured leaves. To remove the tough stems, make a “V-shaped” cut where the stem joins the leaf. Stack the leaves and cut them into pieces.

Serving size 4: 1 1/2 cups per serve.
