Sweet Potato Avocado Soup

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mashed sweet potato (from 1 baked sweet potato, directions below)

1/2 cup vegetable broth, yeast-free

1/2 cup almond milk

1/2 can white beans (I prefer Eden Organics)

1/2 tsp. chipotle powder

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt)

1/8 tsp. chili powder

1/2 Haas avocado, diced

1 wedge of lime juice, fresh squeezed

1/2 cup chopped parsley and/or spinach

1 tsp. thyme leaves 1/2 tsp. jalapeno, diced (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake your sweet potato until tender (30-45 minutes, give or take). Carefully remove potato skin, and add the sweet potato to the blender along with the vegetable broth, beans, and almond milk. Blend on low until smooth.

Next, add your sea salt and spices and blend again.

Pour into a serving bowl, and garnish with avocado cubes, chopped spinach, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, jalapeno, and/or lime juice.

Enjoy!
