When I stovetop cook a soup I usually add one or two parsley or parsnip roots to thicken the soup (old family tradition).. I’m sure they’d hold up with slow cooking but not sure about the IP. Nutritional yeast bothers me so I’d use the roots instead. Thoughts? Thank you! My husband, who dislikes sweet potatoes, absolutely loves your smokey sweet potato and greens soup, btw (me too!)!

In reply to Missy. Yes, it just makes the broth richer.

Can I skip the nutritional yeast if I don’t have any on hand?

In reply to Sandy. Yes, that would work fine.

In reply to Sandy. The tomatoes add some liquid to this fairly thick soup, but I think the. main difference is adding pasta as that would soak up a lot of extra liquid unless you cooked them first. But even if you cooked them first they would still draw out some liquid.

I made this tonight and it came out very thick!? Not sure what happened? I did add small shells to it at the end and left out the tomatoes. Any thoughts??

In reply to Marti MacPhee. Hi, Can you use Veggie stock instead of water and in place of the bouillon cube?

Thank you Kathy for this scrumptious recipe! I used pinto beans and when I found I had no celery I subbed in bok choy, which also provided the greens for the final touch. Came out great. I’m a soup freak every day of the year. So this one is going to get a lot of replay. Keep up the wonderful, generous work you do.
