Ingredients
  

Vegetables:

  • 2 medium purple sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 large carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 small purple cabbage shredded
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

Legumes & Broth:

  • 2 cups cooked black beans or 1 can, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Seasonings:

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper optional, for heat
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt adjust to taste

Other:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

For Garnishing (Optional):

  • Fresh cilantro chopped
  • Sliced avocado
  • Crumbled tortilla chips or crispy tortilla strips
  • Vegan sour cream or coconut yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Vegetables
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add diced onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
  • Stir in sweet potatoes, carrots, and cabbage, cooking for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Season and Simmer
  • Sprinkle cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Mix well.
  • Add black beans and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 45–50 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Blend for Creaminess
  • Using an immersion blender, blend about half the soup directly in the pot for a creamy texture while keeping some vegetables intact.
  • Alternatively, transfer 2–3 cups of the soup to a blender, purée, and return it to the pot.
  • Finish and Adjust Flavors
  • Stir in lime juice and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Serve and Garnish
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your choice of toppings, such as fresh cilantro, avocado slices, tortilla strips, or a dollop of vegan sour cream.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
