Description

A vibrant and hearty purple black bean soup recipe that combines black beans, purple vegetables, and aromatic spices for a nutritious and delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked or canned black beans
  • 1 small head of purple cabbage, chopped
  • 12 medium purple sweet potatoes, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 34 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
  • Avocado slices (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
  • Add the purple cabbage and sweet potatoes, stirring to coat with the oil and aromatics.
  • Sprinkle cumin, paprika, and chili powder over the vegetables. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
