Creamy Tuscan Bean and Veggie Soup

My vegetarian take on Tuscan soup. I’ve replaced the white potatoes and sausage with sweet potatoes, diced cremini mushrooms, hearty butter beans and veggie crumble. Finished with a little cream and crumbled parmesan cheese, this soup is packed with nutrients, hearty and delicious!
