Southwest sweet potato black bean soup (vegan)
This southwest sweet potato and black bean soup (vegan) is a delicious healthy one pot soup recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 jalapeno - finely chopped with seeds removed
- 1 red onion - finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic - minced
- 3 stalks celery - finely chopped
- 1 medium sweet potato - diced about 3-4 cups of sweet potato
- 1 cup finely chopped cilantro sub parsley if you don't like cilantro
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 can black beans
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- juice from 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups chopped kale optional
Instructions
- Heat oil in a soup pot or instant pot over medium heat. Add the first 4 ingredients and cook for 6 minutes. Next add in the spices and cook for another 2 minutes. If using your instant pot use the saute function for 6 minutes.
- Add all remaining ingredients except for kale. Stir to combine.
- Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender. If you are using your instant pot cook for 15 minutes on high pressure and do a natural release.
- Optional: 3-4 cups of your soup to a blender(or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth. Mix the blended soup back in with the rest of the soup. This gives it a great texture!
- Add in kale to your soup and stir until wilted.
- Let soup cool and serve with your favorite toppings. I love crushed tortilla chips and coconut yogurt
Notes
This makes 5-6 servings of soup.
