• 1 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 head celery
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 Jalapeño, seeded, if desired, and diced (optional)
• 1 Medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped into ½-inch pieces
• 1 (28-ounce) Can diced tomatoes

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and sauté for about 5 minutes.
