Ingredients

    1/2 c. chopped onion
    3 cloves minced garlic

    2 cups broth (any kind)
    2 c. (or one can) stewed tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes chopped)
    2 c. (or one can) cannellini beans (or another white bean/kidney bean or chick pea)

    1 tsp. turmeric

    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions

Saute- 1/2 c. chopped onion
3 cloves minced garlic
in 2 T. olive oil

add: 1/2 c. chopped green pepper, 1 celery stalk chopped and saute longer

add 2 med./large sweet potatoes cut in 1 inch chunks and 2 cups broth (any kind)
cook till sweet potatoes are soft (I did this in my pressure cooker which takes about 5 min at 10 lbs. pressure.)

add 2 c. (or one can) stewed tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes chopped)
and 2 c. (or one can) cannellini beans (or another white bean/kidney bean or chick pea)
season with:
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cayenne

Add seasoning and simmer.

I have a stick blender and partially blended the soup before serving it. You could also put the soup in the blender before you at the beans.

You can substitute other orange vegetables for the sweet potatoes. Makes at least 8 1 c. servings.
