Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 leek, cut in half lengthwise, rinsed, sliced thinly
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces (4 cups)

2 cups chopped fresh broccoli florets
1 tablespoon water
6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • In 4-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and leek to oil; cook 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft. Stir in broth, sweet potatoes and apple pieces. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.

Repeat 2 times more with remaining soup mixture. Pour soup back into saucepan; stir in broccoli. Cover and heat over low heat about 10 minutes or until hot.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few leftover sweet potatoes after Thanksgiving, and this is a great way to use them up.

I added a can of black beans to this soup and it was amazing! The beans added a nice protein boost and made the soup even more filling.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken broth and used vegetable broth instead. The soup was still delicious and flavorful.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was perfect for a cold winter day.

The soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and that helped a lot. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of sweet potatoes. Next time, I'll try using a less sweet variety.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this soup. The broccoli and cheese balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
