Sweet Black Bean Chili
Nutritious and filling black bean chili recipe
INGREDIENTS
• 1 Medium Yellow Onion, Diced
• 1 Medium Sweet Potato, Chopped
• 1/3 Jar of Salsa
• ½ Can of Black Beans
• ½ Cup Vegetable Stock
• ½ Cup Filtered Water
• 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1/3 Tsp. Chili Powder
• ¼ Tsp. Chipotle Powder
HOW TO MAKE IT
- In a large pot over medium heat, sweat onions in 1 Tbsp oil and season with a healthy pinch each salt and pepper (amounts as original recipe is written // use more or less if altering batch size). Stir and continue cooking on medium heat until translucent and soft.
- Add sweet potato and any desired spices at this time. Cook for 3 minutes. Then add salsa, water, and vegetable stock.
- Bring mixture to a low boil on medium high heat and then lower heat to medium-low and simmer. Add black beans, cover and cook for at least 20 minutes more, preferably 30 – or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender and the soup and thickened. This soup is at its best when prepared the night before or allowed to rest for a few hours, so the flavor marries with the vegetables and beans.
