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.
Another comfort meal that you might like is this Chicken Noodle Soup, Spinach Sweet Potato Soup and Sweet Potato Chicken Soup Recipe.

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.

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!
Brian says
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?
Olivia says
My bad… sorry Brian. It is one cup of diced sweet potato. Thanks a lot for your question!
Maria says
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.
Olivia says
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.
Natalie @ Tastes Lovely says
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!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
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!
Kelly - Life Made Sweeter says
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 🙂
Helen @ Scrummy Lane says
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!
Valya @ Valya' s Taste of Home says
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. 🙂
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says
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.
Sarah@WholeandHeavenlyOven says
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.
