Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon margarine or butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
  • 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
  • 1 (14 1/2-oz.) can ready-to-serve vegetable broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dash ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Steps

  • 1
    Melt margarine in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, celery and garlic; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • 2
    Add white potatoes, sweet potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the milk and flour; mix until smooth. Stir in remaining milk, salt and ground red pepper until well mixed. Stir into soup; cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until bubbly and thickened, stirring constantly.
  • 4
    To serve, ladle soup into 4 individual soup bowls. Sprinkle each with green onions.

  • Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta carotene, an antioxidant which is converted into vitamin A by the body. Major food sources of vitamin A and beta-carotene include carrots, pumpkin, spinach, cantaloupe, red bell peppers, apricots and collard greens.
  • Sprinkle each serving with oyster crackers or fish-shaped Cheddar crackers.
  • For a heartier chowder, add 1 cup Frozen Sweet Peas, thawed, with the milk.
  • Complement this sweet soup with crisp breadsticks and a fresh fruit salad garnished with mint.
