I HATE when it starts getting cold out... all I want to do is wear sweats and snuggle under blankets. One of the few good things about cold weather is Slow Cooked Soups! They are so easy to make, excellent for meal planning, and quick to prepare! Just dump everything in and go!
Decided to create a sweet potato based soup. Here is what happened:(and yes I think black beans and sweet potatoes go perfectly together).
Ingredients: 2 medium or 1 large sweet potato, 1 cup carrots, 1 yellow onion, 1 can black beans, 4-5 cups chicken/vegetable broth (should be enough to cover all the veggies once they are in the crockpot) and seasonings : ginger (I recommend fresh ginger grated or chopped), basil, garlic powder, etc.
Directions:
1) Chop up veggies (don’t forget to peel sweet potato).
2) Add chicken broth (or vegetable broth to make dish vegan), veggies, and black beans to crockpot.
3) Seasoning, I chopped up half a root of fresh ginger, added 1-2 TBSP garlic powder and dry basil. Feel free to use thyme, parsley, whatever you like!
4) Mix everything in and cook for about 8 hours.
Seriously easy meal full of great nutrients and plant based protein! Enjoy!
