Servings: 8 people
Calories: 157kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups carrots sliced
- 1 sweet potato large, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 cup green beans fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 onion small, diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 30 ounces black beans cans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- kosher or sea salt to taste
- 2 cups tomato based vegetable juice no sugar added, similar to V8 juice
- 2 cups vegetable broth low-sodium, water as a substitute
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker, cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, or until veggies are tender. Add a tablespoon of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, if desired.
- To make this even more of a Superfood Soup, add 2 cups coarsely chopped kale the last 5 minutes of cooking, or until wilted.
Notes
If you prefer a less subtle onion and garlic taste, saute onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 additional minute. Add to slow cooker along with other ingredients.
For a less tomato taste, use only 1 cup of the tomato based vegetable juice and increase the broth to 3 cups.
