INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups canned low-sodium black beans (drained)
1 medium sweet potato
0.5 ounce pepitas
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon olive oil
0.5 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 lime
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel and cube the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potato in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic and ground cumin to the pot, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the drained black beans and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes to meld the flavors.
For a creamier consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup directly in the pot, leaving some beans intact for texture.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the roasted sweet potato chunks.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of crispy pepitas, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this nourishing soup.
