Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, cut into thin slices
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
6 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 lb green beans, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb turkey cutlets, cut into 1 1/2 by 1/2 inch strips
Directions
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the sweet potatoes, broth, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

  4. Return the pureed soup to the pot and add the green beans, the remaining teaspoon salt and the pepper.

  5. Simmer until the beans are just tender, about 8 minutes.

  6. Stir in the strips of turkey. Cook until the turkey is done, about 2 minutes.
