A comforting and flavorful soup featuring black beans and sweet potatoes, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic.
Cook until the onion becomes translucent for the best flavor.
Add the diced sweet potato and stir to combine.
Cut the sweet potato into small, even pieces for quicker cooking.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Use low-sodium broth to control the salt level.
Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, cumin, and thyme.
Rinse the canned beans to remove excess sodium.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
Add a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh touch.
