Ingredients
-
2 medium-large sweet potatoes
2 TBSP olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 to 3 garlic cloves
1 medium red bell pepper diced
32 oz black beans, rinsed & drained
28 oz diced tomatoes
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
salt to taste
cilantro for garnish
Directions
1. Bake or microwave sweet potatoes on high until just firm, about 3 to 4 min per potato. When cool enough to handle, peel & cut into 3/4 inch dice. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in large soup pot. Add onion & garlic; sautee over medium heat until golden. Add bell pepper, beans, tomatoes, cumin & oregano. Bring to a simmer. Cover & simmer gently for 15 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and continue to simmer until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Season lightly with salt. If time allows, let stand off heat for 1 to 2 hours, then heat through as needed.
Garnish each bowl with cilantro.
***original recipe calls for 1 to 2 small fresh hot chilies, minced, or one 3 oz can chopped mild green chilies. I omit the chilies since my kids don't care for spicy right now.
