Savory Soup is one of my absolute all time favorites. Itís loaded with superfoods, spices and all things good.
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 6 hours
Ingredients:
| 2 cups | sliced carrots |
| 1 | large sweet potato, cut into 1/2" cubes |
| 1 cup | fresh or frozen green beans |
| 1/2 cup | fresh cilantro, chopped |
| 1 | small onion, diced |
| 1 clove | garlic, minced |
| 2 (15-ounce) cans | black beans, drained and rinsed |
| 1/2 teaspoon | crushed red pepper flake |
| 1/2 teaspoon | black pepper |
| 1 teaspoon | chili powder |
| 1 teaspoon | cumin |
| sea, kosher or salt, to taste | |
| 2 cups | organic vegetable juice |
| 2 cups | organic vegetable broth, low-sodium |
| Cheddar cheese, for topping (optional) | |
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker, cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, or until veggies are tender. Add a tablespoon of cheddar cheese, if desired.
NOTE: If you prefer a less subtle onion and garlic taste, saute onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 additional minute. Add to slow cooker along with other ingredients.
To make this even more of a Superfood Soup, add 2 cups coarsely chopped kale the last 5 minutes of cooking, or until wilted.
