Ingredients
SERVINGS: 4 - 6 Serving(s)
- ¼ to ½ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or substitute with ancho chili powder for less heat)
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 15-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes
- 3 cups low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 2-3 cups water
- 1 15-ounce can black beans (salt and preservative free), drained and rinsed
- Juice of one lime
Instructions
Heat a large 6 or 8-quart pot over medium heat. Add a small amount of broth to coat the bottom of the pot, and then add onions and sauté for about 4-5 minutes. Add additional broth as needed to keep onions from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Next add the garlic, spices, salt, and sweet potatoes, and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the fire roasted tomatoes, broth, and water, and simmer the soup uncovered for about 15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are nearly fork tender. Add in the beans and cook for 5 more minutes until beans are thoroughly heated. Remove soup pot from heat and add lime juice. Taste and adjust salt, spices, and lime if necessary. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or avocado.
