Easy Homemade Soup Recipe

February 13, 2015 by Jeanne

soup

 

This easy homemade soup recipe uses another quart of the canned sweet potatoes I have in my pantry. I admit that when I canned all those quarts of sweet potatoes last fall, I wondered what I would do with them all. I had one recipe for sweet potato pie, and another for pureed sweet potato carrot soup that’s yummy, but there’s only so many pies you can make in a year.

I was craving a nourishing, homemade soup today. It’s really cold outside and my stomach has been on the fritz for a few days, so  soup just seemed right. I find canned soups too salty lately, although they’re convenient. Why not use up some of the canned sweet potatoes for the convenience of canned soup without the salt?

Our came a quart Ball jar of sweet potato chunks, 2 cans of organic low sodium vegetable broth, some veggies and voila; within half an hour, instant soup!

It was delicious, flavorful and filling. Exactly what this cold wintry day called for.

Please enjoy my recipe for this Easy Homemade Soup using canned sweet potatoes.
