spices

optional

1 Tbspchili powder

2 tspground cumin

½ tspground cinnamon

½ tspchipotle powder

1 tsphot sauce

Instructions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, sweat onions in 1 Tbsp oil and season with a healthy pinch each salt and pepper (amounts as original recipe is written // use more or less if altering batch size). Stir and continue cooking on medium heat until translucent and soft.

Step 2

Add sweet potato and any desired spices at this time (I went for chili, cinnamon, cumin, and chipotle powder – all are optional). Cook for 3 minutes. Then add salsa, water, and vegetable stock.

Step 3

Bring mixture to a low boil on medium high heat and then lower heat to medium-low and simmer. Add black beans, cover and cook for at least 20 minutes more, preferably 30 – or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender and the soup and thickened. This soup is at its best when prepared the night before or allowed to rest for a few hours so the flavor marries with the vegetables and beans.

Step 4

Serve with fresh cilantro, onion, avocado, and/or lime juice. Chips make an excellent spoon.
