VEGAN BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Vegan Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup image

This hearty vegan soup conjures up the flavors of Spain in a bowl. The smoked paprika (aka pimenton) gives it a deep savory taste that anyone -- even your favorite omnivore -- will enjoy. We like water as the base of this soup because it lets the flavors of the vegetables shine through. While it's optional, the drizzle of sherry vinegar at the end adds a brightness that takes this dish to the next level.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
Kosher salt
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (pimenton)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 dried bay leaves
2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and chopped
Two 15.5-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Sherry vinegar, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes.
  • Make a space in the middle of the pot and add the tomato paste, garlic, smoked paprika and coriander. Cook this mixture in that spot, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens a shade or two, about 1 minute, then stir into the vegetables. Add 12 cups water and the bay leaves. Bring to a rapid simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and black beans. Continue to simmer rapidly until the vegetables are very tender and the soup is thick and flavorful. 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the parsley. Season with additional salt, as needed. Ladle into soup bowls and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and 3 to 4 drops of sherry vinegar per bowl if using.

BLACK-BEAN AND SWEET-POTATO STEW



Black-Bean and Sweet-Potato Stew image

This satisfying vegetarian stew is ready in about an hour-and more than half that time is hands-off. Opting for canned beans instead of dried put this recipe on the fast-track, and velvety, earthy sweet potatoes, nutty quinoa, and smoky chipotle peppers provided complexity and depth without the need for an all-day simmer.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegan Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cans (each 15.5 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 white onion, chopped (2 cups)
1 large poblano pepper, ribs and seeds removed, chopped
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon minced chipotle in adobo
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
Fresh cilantro and shredded cheddar, for serving

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, purée half of beans with 1/2 cup water; set aside. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high. Add onion and poblano; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion turns golden in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and chipotle; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add sweet potato, remaining whole beans and puréed beans, and 3 cups water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in quinoa. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mixture reduces to the consistency of a thick stew and sweet potato is tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Season with salt and serve with cilantro and cheddar.

Tips:

  • Use canned beans and ham: Canned beans and ham are convenient and affordable options that work well in this soup.
  • Rinse the beans: Rinsing the beans removes the excess starch and salt, resulting in a cleaner flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for sweet potatoes, carrots, and celery, but you can add other vegetables that you like, such as onions, bell peppers, or corn.
  • Add spices to taste: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to add more or less of each spice, or add other spices that you like.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: This soup is hearty and filling, but it's even better when served with a side of bread or crackers.

This black bean, sweet potato, and ham soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
