Pasta Soup with Sweet Potato and Peas
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 😉
MY OTHER RECIPES
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.

Yum! The soup looks so so hearty, wholesome, and comforting. Perfect for the colder weather! Also, I can’t even handle that deep-dish pizza. Can’t even handle it
So glad you got to experience Chicago! That city is fantastic and OMG the deep dish pizza! I can’t blame you for eating it for breakfast, ha! This soup looks so comforting and delicious. I need a big bowl of it!
Pasta soup with sweet potatoes and peas, I am sorry I am new in the kitchen how do I measure one cup of sweet potatoes, do I mash them?
My bad… sorry Brian. It is one cup of diced sweet potato. Thanks a lot for your question!
It also says to add the beans. What beans? Also, the soup looks very smooth. Were the sweet potatoes puréed? I love th concept and the soup picture looks great, but I am not sure how the recipe as written will produce the product in the picture.
There is no beans. I just adjusted the recipe instructions to clear up further confusion. Thanks for pointing it out.Also there is no sweet potato puree in there. I just used a very thick vegetable broth. I used this one.
Sounds like such a fun trip Olivia! I’ve never been to Chicago, but it’s on my “must visit” list. Someday. I bet you were mighty cold! Glad you enjoyed some good food, especially the deep dish pizza. I would have eaten leftovers for breakfast AND lunch : )
This soup sounds so good! I love sweet potato in soup. Gives it a delicious velvety texture. Yum!
Sounds like you had a great time in Chicago! Giordano’s is my favorite deep dish pizza, and I love eating it cold for breakfast the next day! And Willis Tower is amazing, although it will always be the Sears Tower to me (as they just changed the name within the past few years or so). This pasta soup looks so delicious! I’ve never used sweet potatoes in a soup before, so I’m loving this version!
Yay, so glad you had a great trip! I’ve always wanted to visit Chicago and it sounds like so much fun! Love this soup – it’s been so chilly lately so a big bowl of this sounds perfect to warm up with 🙂
I’m not sure a bowl of soup could be any more comforting than this. It looks so thick and creamy and delicious! Perfect for the start of winter, that’s for sure!
Sounds like you had a great time in Chicago. I’d love to visit some day!
Sounds like you had lots of fun on your trip. Your right! What can be better than home made soup on a cold day. Our temperatures have not been below freezing yet, but soup sounds good anyway. 🙂
Glad you had such a good time in Chicago! This soup looks absolutely wonderful. Sweet potatoes and peas are two of my favorite ingredients for soups! I would really enjoy a big bowl of this.
Glad to hear your trip went so well! You’re reminding me how much I miss Chicago! Haven’t been back there in so long. 😉
And this soup is totally gorgeous! Love all those glorious chunks of sweet potatoes! Pinned.
I’m glad you had fun in Chicago! 🙂 And this soup looks fantastic. I usually don’t make many soups, but I need to start cause I’m in desperate need of something to warm me up in this NY weather!!
I LOVE sweet potato and peas! This pasta soup looks absolutely delicious!!! Pinned 🙂
This is the kind of meal we want on a chilly fall day! This looks delicious! Pinned!
So glad you had fun in Chicago, Olivia! I’ve only been once but I loved it and that Chicago style pizza is the best! My husband just looked over my shoulder as I was reading your post and said that it looked so good and asked if I would make it, haha! I guess I gotta make this soup now 🙂
Olivia, I can’t get over the beautiful colors in this soup, so gorgeous!! Pinned!
Sounds like you had a great trip even with the cold weather! I’ve always wanted to visit Chicago – hopefully someday!

Yaaaaay, Chicago! I loved Millennium Park and looks like you had a great time! This soup looks like the perfect return home to me..so cozy, healthy, and comforting!
This looks wonderful! I’ve been looking for more soup recipes lately, especially ones that don’t require an immersion blender, since I have yet to buy one. Looking forward to trying this!
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!
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.
Pinned… Pinned…. Pinned! Soooo delicious. I love rich and hearty soups that have a bit of pasta in them, I feel like I am actually having a decent meal then.All about the sweet potato lately.
Can’t wait to make this soup! :o) What kind of beans did you use?
I used peas! Thanks for your question!
what do you mean by beans? The green veg type or beans like you put in baked beans?
I only used peas.
yum this sounds really nice. Thanks for putting this up.
Simon
You are very welcome 😉
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?
It is just 1/2 cup of peas. I am sorry about that. I fixed it on the recipe ingredients list. Thanks.
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!
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.
Hope you enjoyed this soup for Christmas Eve -)
