Wednesday's Chow - Sweet Potato Minestrone

Well, Old Man Winter has decided to take up residence, hasn't he?  It's even going FREEZE in Houston three nights in a row!  So, here's yet another soup recipe to help warm things up.  It's from TASTE OF HOME SOUPS Recipe Cards cookbook.  Sweet Potatoes are a really good source of Vitamin A and fiber and Cabbage is has lots of Vitamin C, of all things!
