Miso Sweet Potato White Bean Stew
This Miso Sweet Potato White Bean Stew is a delicious vegetarian soup recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter can use olive oil but butter adds more flavor
- 3 leeks - cut in half and then finely sliced only use the white parts of the leek and remove the root
- 3-6 cloves garlic - minced adjust to your garlic preference
- 3 cups vegetable broth can use bone broth for more protein or chicken broth
- 2 cups diced sweet potato from 1 small sweet potato
- 2 cans white beans - drained I used cannelini
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons miso paste mixed with 2 tablespoons water*
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar can sub juice from ½ lemon
- salt to taste if your broth is salty you may not need any salt
- black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup fresh sage - finely chopped
- 2 cups fresh chopped kale or green of choice
Instructions
- Heat butter (or oil) over medium heat. Add leeks and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 3 more minutes.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the kale. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender.
- Turn off heat. Add 2 cups of the cooked soup to a blender or food proccesser. Blend until smooth. Add blended soup back to the main pot of soup. Alternatively you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup. If you have no access to a blender you can use a potato masher to mash the soup or just skip this step. This step serves to make the soup creamier.
- Add in kale to soup and stir until wilted.
- Divide out soup and serve.
Notes
This makes 3-4 servings of soup, depending on how hungry you are.
If you use bone broth instead of vegetable broth this recipe will have 10 grams more protein per serving.
*Mixing the miso paste with water allows it to dissolve better in the soup. I added mine to a small ramekin and mixed it with a fork until it was mostly combined with the water.
