ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 kg sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- 1 red onion, peeled and diced
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 carrots, diced
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 4 liters chicken (or water and stock cubes) or 4 liters vegetable stock (or water and stock cubes)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or celery tops)
- 1 (425 g) tin white beans (Cannelini, butter, haricot etc)
- 1 cup raw pasta shells (or any small pasta)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- salt
directions
- In a large pot heat the oil and fry all the vegetables for 3 - 5 minutes, stiring often to stop from burning. Add the sage and cook for a further minute.
- Add the stock (hot stock will make the soup cook faster) and bring to the boil. Let the veggies cook (about 10 minutes) and use a potato masher to roughly mash the veggies so you have plenty of chunky bits, but they aren't too big. Reduce to a slow boil.
- Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the canned beans and cook for a further 5 minutes. Stir through the parsley, salt and pepper.
- Let sit for a few minutes before serving with bread.

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br />As a toddler, my nic-name was Pompom (my Poppy had a golf hat with a pompom and it was one of my first words, and it stuck as my nic name). My Poppy has long since passed, but I fondly remember him every time I log on. I'm a stay at home mum of four aged: 10, 8, 7 and almost 6. I have a severe egg allergy and am lactose intolerant, I enjoy working out ways to still enjoy food minus eggs and milk. I have been married for 14 years and have one very happy and well fed hubby.<br />My goal is to try one new recipe a week, for the past 8 years have achieved this. I own over 300 cookbooks, but no longer purchase them - but regularly print out recipes to try later.<br />When I am not cooking, I am busy household of 6 and going to the gym (to work off the wonderful calories I consumed the day before) and helping at school and church.<br />My philosophy in life is: as we have to eat, we may as well eat well.</p>
