Broccoli, Ham, and Sweet Potato Soup image

There's nothing like a hearty soup to warm you up on a chilly day! When I was a teenager, I worked at a restaurant that had a ham and broccoli soup in their "soup of the day" rotation. This is my twist on that recipe!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup diced red onion
1 ½ cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
6 cups water
½ cup diced ham
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups broccoli florets
1 ½ cups dry elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven and cook onion until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sweet potato and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water, ham, and bouillon cubes; bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Add broccoli and until it reaches your desired tenderness, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta and add to the soup. Serve immediately.
