2 tablespoons light olive oil 2 medium onions -- chopped 2 medium carrots -- peeled, diced 1 large celery stalk -- diced 1 Handful celery leaves 6 cups diced (1/2") peeled sweet potatoes 2 bay leaves 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup low-fat milk, rice milk, or soymilk -- or as needed Salt -- to taste Freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste |
Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté over low heat until the onions are golden. Add the celery leaves and sweet potato dice. Add just enough water to cover all but about an inch of the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the bay leaves and seasonings. Simmer gently, covered, until the sweet potatoes and vegetables are quite tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. |
