A creamy vegan soup to warm the soul and nourish the body.

Cozy up to a belly-warming soup that couldn’t be more nourishing. A velvety, nutrient-dense broth of light coconut milk, sweet potato, and vegetable juice is filled to the brim with hearty bites of root vegetables and white beans. Add some warming spices, and you have yourself one tasty and filling soup.

Slow Cooker Spicy Sweet Potato & Bean Soup is completely vegan, containing no meat or dairy products. Though filling, it’s light enough for your body to digest into energy quickly. The medium-chained fatty acids found in the coconut milk are easy for the body to use, rather than store as fat, so you don’t need to fear coconut milk fat in recipes! Add to that the health benefits of sweet potatoes, and the vitamins, fiber, and protein of the beans.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap sweet potato in foil, place on an oven-safe pan, and bake until tender, approximately 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly before peeling.

  1. I am in Australia. What would our equivalent be to Great Northern Beans. The soup recipes all sound absolutely delish, especially with our winter coming along. Many thanks Maria

    1. Hi Susan, you can substitute dry beans. However, even when cooking dry beans in a slow cooker they need to be soaked in water for 24 hours before using. The dry beans won’t cook in time otherwise!
