This Pasta Soup with Sweet Potato and Peas is a great recipe for fall. This filling soup is full of fiber, low in fat, and is a quick-and-easy go-to meal!
Hello, guys
I just came back from Chicago and I am so excited to tell you about my great weekend. I stayed there from Thursday to Monday afternoon. I loved everything from that beautiful city, especially the deep dish pizza. OMG, what is that? ABSOLUTELY D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S!!! I couldn’t get enough of it. Please don’t judge but I have to confess … I even had the leftovers for breakfast next morning. I know, I know… this is not healthy, but once in a while, it’s okay, right? And what about the Sprinkles Cupcake store, guys? Their cupcakes are awesome!! I’ve never tried a cupcake from Sprinkles before, but now I am in love! Oh, Gosh … why don’t we have Sprinkles in Canada?
My childhood friend showed me everything I wanted to see like the Millennium Park, Willis Tower, and the Chicago River Architecture Tour. We also went to the RPM Steakhouse and let me tell you guys … IT WAS DIVINE! It was one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. I truly recommended this restaurant if you want to taste a marvelous, good quality meat. But unfortunately, the weather wasn’t very good. It was actually very cold, but I am used to this type of weather since I live in a winter land 😉
So, talking about the cold weather, why not to make a delicious soup recipe? Is there a better food for the chilly days? I guess not. Nothing beats a warm and delicious bowl of homemade hot soup when the temperatures are below zero. It is so easy to make and healthier than canned soup. Those cans should be forgotten forever, right? Making soup is so easy. There’s really no excuse for buying canned soups.
This filling Pasta Soup with Sweet Potato and Peas is full of fiber, low in fat, and a quick-and-easy go-to meal. This time I decided to add brown rice pasta to make this soup even more of a comfort food. For soup, we should use a small pasta. A good rule is the thinner the soup, the smaller the pasta. For broths and light soups, select from a large assortment of tiny shapes.

Pasta Soup with Sweet Potato and Peas
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin oil
- ¾ cup yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1 cup sweet potato diced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup brown rice pasta
- ½ cup peas
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Instructions
- In a large pot over high heat, add olive oil.
- When the pan and the oil are hot, turn the heat down to medium and add the onions and garlic.
- Sauté until onions are translucent. Add red pepper and sweet potato. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add broth and bring it to a boil. Add brown rice pasta. Cover and cook according to the package instructions.
- Add peas, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper and cook for 4 minutes more.
- Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary. Serve topped with fresh parsley.
Tips
- If you're worried about salt, you can use low sodium vegetable broth and season to taste.
- Feel free to use frozen peas. Add the peas to the soup directly from frozen.
- Make sure the vegetables are chopped uniformly and into small bite-sized pieces so you don't have large evenly chunks when you try to take a bite.
- To store: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To reheat: Reheat the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot.
- To freeze: Freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Make sure you leave space when freezing as liquid expands as it freezes. The texture of the pasta may change when frozen and thawed.

Olivia, if I went to Chicago, the first thing I’d do is go get a deep dish pizza… I’ve never been there, so I haven’t had the opportunity. But one day..
Your soup looks fabulous! Love how you included a bit of cayenne pepper in with the sweet potatoes. Seems like a nice balance of sweet and spicy. Lovely colors too! Thank you, Olivia!
Lori says
We lived in Chicago for twenty years, and then we had to move closer family. e miss just about everything, but we found if you can duplicate some of the recipes it really helps.

You are very welcome 😉
Wistaire says
This looks delicious!
I have a question about the beans though, when someone asked what beans you used you replied ‘green peas’ however in the recipe it lists both 1/2 cup of peas and 1 cup of beans. Do you use 1 1/2 cup of peas or do you use a different kind of bean?
Olivia says
It is just 1/2 cup of peas. I am sorry about that. I fixed it on the recipe ingredients list. Thanks.
Carmen says
I made this soup for lunch today. It was delicious! My husband and I loved it. I used a can of rinsed and drained black beans in addition to the green peas. I had not read the comments where you suggested green beans. I will definitely be making this soup again.
It will not allow me to rate this below, but I definitely give it 5 STARS!
Olivia says
So happy you like this recipe 😉 Thanks for the 5 stars 😉

The photos and the memories are sustaining me this week while I battle with horrible things like BAS returns and marking assignments.It gives me a lift to look at the photos again!

I have all the ingredients except parsley so this will be my dinner for Christmas Eve this year.
I am in Canada but I worked in the US for several years. The closest I got to Chicago was on a business to Belvedere for work. I took the by pass! The traffic was enough so that I was glad I didn’t have to go through the city.
Olivia says
Hope you enjoyed this soup for Christmas Eve -)
