Sharing is caring!

This Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup Recipe is a simple and hearty soup with vegetables that are certain to warm your bellies fast. I love making easy soup recipes during the year and this is one of my favorites that tops the list.

Grab some really cool soup bowls and let everyone fill them to the top! I’ve seen a lentil soup recipe that is close to this one before that was made in the slow cooker but I’m a fan of cooking this on the stove and using a dutch oven or large pot instead.

Make certain that when you’re heating up your olive oil, you make it hot enough so that it can easily saute the veggies. You’re going to want them translucent but not overly cooked or they’re going to turn to mush.

I’ve been making this simple soup recipe for years for my boys and they still love and crave it now. I think it’s the sweetness of the potatoes with the heartiness of the rest of the added veggies that keeps bringing them back and wanting more.

Can you freeze soup for later?

If you find that you have a lot of this soup leftover, you can easily pop it in the freezer for later. Just be certain that you put it in a freezer-approved container that has a lid and it should be good to freeze to enjoy later.
