Winter Harvest Soup

As I said in the menu post this was on a previous menu but never got made, but as it contains vegetables that I tend to be getting in the box and I still had the sweet potatoes I bought to make it I put it on again and managed to throw it together last night (yes, I'm caught up!).

There are a ton of vegetables in this soup; onions, swede, celery, yams (I used a regular potato instead), sweet potatoes and bok choy. There are also a lot of herbs and 2 tins of black eye beans, and I only made half the recipe which ended up being enough for about 6 people, so be warned it makes a ton!

It's very simple as most soups are, chop it, saute it, boil it, add the bits that don't need to cook for long and then it's done. I didn't bother thickening it as it was so chock full of bits that I thought a thick broth would make it more a stew.

We all liked this and it reheated well for Piggle's lunch today (he's got 2 more portions in the freezer too) so I'll make it again sometime and maybe try some different beans, the recipe says to choose whatever you like and the black eyed beans were what I had in the cupboard. I didn't add the chopped herbs and didn't read the note to increase the dried herbs if you weren't using the fresh but it came out fine anyway.
