Sweet Potato Minestrone Soup

Thought I would share a new recipe I tried from Demarle. In case you haven't heard of Demarle, it is a company in France that made it's start from producing and selling professional silicone bake ware to companies like Cheesecake Factory and Subway just to name a few. A few years ago they started selling through direct home sales for the everyday cook.
Anyways I was wanting to change from using white potatoes all the time and was looking for recipes that had sweet potatoes which are healthier for you when I came across this recipe. It calls for one of Demarle's herb seasonings but I didn't have any so I subsituted Mrs Dash herb blend and it was kind of bland. The next time I made it I used Italian Seasoning. It was much better and made the recipe a keeper.
