Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Sweet potatoes – 2 large about 2 cups or approximately 500g
  • Black beans – 1 can 15 oz or around 425g (drained and rinsed)
  • Vegetable broth – 2 cups or 470ml
  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons or 30ml
  • Onion – 1 medium chopped
  • Garlic – 3 cloves minced
  • Cumin – 1 teaspoon or about 5g
  • Paprika – 1/2 teaspoon or 2.5g
  • Salt – to taste
  • Pepper – to taste
  • Chopped cilantro – for garnish

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it's warming up, wash and peel your sweet potatoes.
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes into small chunks. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet, and roast for about 25 minutes or until they become tender.
  3. As the sweet potatoes are roasting, grab a large pot. Pour the olive oil and set it on medium heat.
  4. Toss in the chopped onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the onions turn translucent.
  5. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika to the pot. Stir them in and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. By now, your sweet potatoes should be ready. Add them to the pot.
  7. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  8. As it begins to boil, add the black beans.
  9. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  10. Reduce the heat, and let the soup simmer for about 10-12 minutes. This helps in mingling all the flavors beautifully.
  11. After simmering, turn off the heat. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until you get a smooth consistency.
  12. Pour the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and voila! Your Vegan Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burger Soup is ready to be devour

Notes

Tips
1. For a slightly smoky flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
2. If you like your soup with a little kick, consider adding a dash of chili flakes or a bit of hot sauce.
3. If you don't have an immersion blender, no worries! A regular blender will do. Just ensure you let the soup cool down a bit before blending to avoid accidents.
4. Storing leftovers? Make sure to cool the soup completely before refrigerating. It stays good for up to 3 days.
 
Serving Suggestions
* Toasted whole grain bread on the side makes for a filling meal.
* Consider adding a dollop of vegan yogurt or vegan sour cream on top for a creamy twist.
* Serve with a fresh salad on the side to keep the meal light yet satisfying.
* For those who like a little crunch, crushed tortilla chips sprinkled on top can be an excellent choice.
