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.

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.

Did you know the contents of your pantry and refrigerator can help boost your immune system? This vegan recipe has fiber, flavonoids, beta-carotene, and the anti-inflammatory compounds in ginger, turmeric, and cayenne, along with omega-3 in the walnuts, and vitamin C in the lemon juice. All this, plus kale, one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet! I promise, though, with all the great flavors in the pesto, you will barely know it's kale. Store any extra pesto in the refrigerator, sealed, for up to 1 week.

CREAMY VEGAN ROASTED SWEET POTATO SOUP



Creamy Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato Soup image

I am constantly overwhelmed by the surprising depth of flavour of this simple little soup, the beauty of this soup - it's simplicity and bare ingredients. You just would not believe something so basic could taste so rich and deep AND creamy! Those macadamias are just pure magic in this soup. It is worth mentioning that I have made this soup in Australia and in the States, and it was quite different, due to the quality and variety of the sweet potatoes. They have a much bolder and richer flavour in Australia. If you are making this in the U.S use yams or orange sweet potatoes. You will also probably only need ½ cup of macadamias, and then taste your soup before you add the second ½ cup. I added a whole cup, and it yielded a soup of a very different personality. It was still sensational. But it resembled more of a nutty taste than that of sweet potato. It is really a matter of preference. Experiment and you will find your perfect blend.

VEGAN CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP



Vegan Creamy Sweet Potato Soup image

This recipe was inspired by a sweet potato soup recipe I got from a friend. I modified it to be more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style. It gets its creaminess from cashew cream. You can reduce prep time by using frozen onion and sweet potato. It is good served hot or cold.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any that are soft, bruised, or have signs of sprouting.
  • Save Time with Pre-Cooked Sweet Potatoes: If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked or roasted sweet potatoes. This will significantly reduce the cooking time.
  • Add a Touch of Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter soup, add a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
  • Make it Spicy: For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the soup. You can also top each bowl with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can become mushy and lose their flavor. Simmer the soup just until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, garnish the soup with a dollop of coconut yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Vegan sweet potato soup is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a cozy snack. With its creamy texture, naturally sweet flavor, and vibrant color, it's a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a comforting dish to serve at a special gathering, this soup is sure to satisfy.
