1 16 ounce bag frozen petite sweet corn
2 medium orange fleshed sweet potatoes yams peeled and finely diced
3 celery stalks diced
1 zucchini diced
1 yellow crookneck squash diced

1 15 ounce can Progresso cannellini beans rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
3 bay leaves
6 cups Health Valley vegetable broth
3 to 4 leaves red chard washed
Directions
Heat olive oil in a very large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and leek and cook about 1 minute. Add all the remaining vegetables except for the chard and saut For about 5 minutes. Add the beans, spices, and broth. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.
Discard the bay leaves. Use a hand held immersion blender to puree half the soup or remove half of the soup and carefully puree in a blender or food processor. Add puree back to remaining soup. Simmer until slightly thickened.
