Black Bean / Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Sweet Potatoes and Spices

   Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sweet potatoes are slightly softened.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Beans

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the black beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a standard blender. Be careful with the hot liquid!

5. 5

   Add Lime and Cilantro

   Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
