📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

4. Add the diced sweet potatoes and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the spices.

6. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

8. Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

9. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
