Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic with one teaspoon of salt for 4-5 minutes. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 6-8 minutes.
