Sweet Potato White Bean Minestrone Soup
Lots of veggies, herbs and tomato sauce add wonderful flavor and vitamins in this veggie soup but what really amps up the flavor is the addition of sweet potatoes and white beans.

With 1/4 cup of fresh basil, lots of thyme and oregano this soup is deliciously good and comforting.

I was making stuffed peppers with paneer for the family one night when one of my twins requested that I make a couple without cheese.

Happy Tuesday!
Hope you had a good weekend and are looking forward to a fabulous week ahead.
