Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil. Add onions with a pinch of salt and pepper
Add sweet potatoes, cumin, cinnamon, chipotle powder, hot sauce, and chili powder.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, add the salsa followed by the vegetable stock and water.
Bring the pot to a low boil on medium-high heat and then lower to a simmer.
Add the black beans, cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes can be penetrated easily by a fork and the soup is thickened.
Finally, stir in the quinoa.
It is recommended to let the chili rest for a few hours so flavors can fully meld together, otherwise, top with avocado and enjoy!
