Instructions

Prep vegetables. In a stock pot, heat olive oil until hot. Add in pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook on medium-high heat for about three minutes. Salt to taste.
Turn heat to medium-low. Add in beans, honey, chipotles, cilantro, and lime. Salt to taste. Stir. Top off with 4 cups of Pacific Organic Vegetable Broth and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
15 minutes before serving, add in sweet potatoes and cook until just softened. Taste and add more salt as needed.
Garnish with cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, and fresh cilantro. Serve.

Notes

• This soup can easily be made ahead of time. Follow steps 1-2 and freeze or refrigerate for later. Reheat to a rolling boil and add sweet potatoes, cooking until just softened.

• Can’t part with meat? Keep it easy by adding in pulled rotisserie chicken with the beans and spices.
