Sweet Potato Minestrone

Submitted by Susan M.

"This is a delicious hearty soup. It can easily be adapted to a slow cooker by doing step one and then transferring everything from step 1 & 2 to a slow cooker and cook on low 8-10 hours. I originally got it off a newsletter that my HMO sent out years ago and I've been making it ever since."
