Easy yummy black bean soup

Postby Potatohead » Wed Dec 26, 2012 7:26 am

Based on Jeff's SNAP meal ideas :nod:

3 or 4 large sweet potatoes peeled and chunked( not pre cooked)
2 cans black beans..15 oz size
2 cans diced tomatoes..15 oz size
10oz package of frozen spinach
1 large onion diced

put everything in a soup pot..add water or broth to cover all.(sorry I don't measure and I used water)..add spices..I used garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper(again I don't measure add to your taste)....bring to a boil then reduce and simmer until the potatoes fall apart...at this point I used a potato masher to finish mashing the potatoes., by doing this it made a nice thick soup....very yummy :nod:

I wonder how will it taste if you don't peel the sweet potatoes?

I measure on the theory (more than theory actually!) that if I make something I like, I could never recreate it if I didn't know how much of what I used! Just my incompetence as a cook. However, I think I will give this a try (keeping track of amounts for future reference) as it looks pretty good!
