Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1/2 cup celery chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2.5 cups sweet potato diced
- 1 cup brown rice pasta
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup peas
- Fresh Italian parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften and become fragrant.
- Add bell pepper, tomato paste, Italian seasonings, paprika, dried basil, salt, and ground black pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to meld with the vegetables.
- Add the diced sweet potato and stir well to combine. Add broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the peas and brown rice pasta. Simmer until pasta is al-dente (check packaging for cook time)! Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary. Serve topped with fresh parsley.
Notes
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 will expand. The texture of the pasta may change when frozen and thawed. You can also make this soup without pasta for freezing, and add the noodles when reheating!
