1 can black beans (drained)
1 can coconut milk
1 carton veggie stock (or water with vegetable bouillion)
1 teaspoon good curry powder (start with half this amount and add more if you like a stronger curry flavor)
1 teaspoon ground ginger root
1 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic (minced)
extra virgin olive oil
a good handful of chopped cilantro (save some for garnish)
1 large sweet potato (cooked and peeled)
salt to taste
In a soup or stock pot, on medium heat, cook down onions and garlic with a bit of olive oil. Add in the spices and stir to cook for a minute or two. Add beans, sweet potato and spices and cook for a few more minutes.
Next, add the veggie stock, coconut milk, and salt.
Add cilantro and blend it all together with an immersion blender or pulse for a second in a regular blender. The soup will become light and creamy in a matter of mere seconds!
