- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 cans (19 ounces each) black beans, with liquid
- 1 package (32 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 large sweet potato, diced
- Plain Greek-style yogurt, optional
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cinnamon, and cook for 6 minutes. Stir in beans, chicken broth, and sweet potato. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
2. Let soup cool 5 minutes, puree in blender in two batches until smooth. Reheat on low until warm before serving. Top with yogurt, if desired.
I’m surprised the directions don’t say to drain the canned black beans?! That’s the first thing you should do to help lower your salt intake. Most Canned vegetables are pretty high in sodium, so always drain and rinse beans, tomatoes, etc. FIRST.
