Sweet Potato and Black Bean Soup

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Soup combines baked sweet potatoes, black beans, sautéed onions and peppers, and taco seasoning cooked gently in vegetable broth. The resulting soup is hearty and creamy with tender chunks of sweet potato and a mildly spicy, smoky flavor from the seasoning. Fresh cilantro added toward the end brightens the flavor, and avocado on top adds creaminess.
