Sweet Potato Minestrone - 48g Carbs, 11g Fiber
From: www.diabetesselfmanagement.com
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
2 cups diced peeled sweet potatoes
1 (about 15 oz can) Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (about 14 oz can) no-salt-added diced tomatoes
3 cups water
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 cups coarsely chopped kale leaves (lightly packed)
4 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Heat oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir 4 minutes or until onion is softened. Stir water, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes, rosemary, salt, if desired, and pepper into saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
Add kale; cover and cook 10 minutes or until tender.
Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with cheese.
Note: Choose kale in small bunches with firm leaves and a rich, deep color. Avoid bunches with limp, wilted, or discolored leaves. To remove the tough stems, make a "V-shaped" cut where the stem joins the leaf. Stack the leaves and cut them into pieces.
