Yummy Sweet Potato and Chicken Soup

I kind of made this up as I went along, so the measurements aren't exact, but it was super yummy, so I just had to share it!

Sweet Potato and Chicken Soup

1 onion, chopped
a couple Tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic. cut up very small

Now put all this in your big soup pot and cook until tender. Then add:

several sliced carrots
a large sweet potato, cut up
a couple stalks of celery, chopped- some leaves are good chopped up in there too

Cook this for a bit then add:

about 8-9 cups chicken stock
a bunch of salt to taste
a bunch of pepper to taste
shake in a bunch of ground coriander(this is what made the soup!)to taste
I can't remember if I added a bay leaf or not, but you could

Then bring to a boil and let simmer for about 20-30 minutes or so until the carrots and potatoes are fuly cooked. Then add:

about a cup to 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken( I cooked mine in the crock pot with a bay leaf, salt and pepper, a little fresh basil, and some dried oregano with a squeeze of lemon over the top)

Then you just cook this until the chicken is warmed up and devour!
