Instructions
- Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeños. Sauté until soft and starting to brown (about 5 minutes)
- Add garlic, smoked paprika (1 teaspoon), cumin (1 teaspoon), cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and oregano (1 teaspoon). Stir to coat and cook for 30 seconds, or until very fragrant.
- Add sweet potatoes and stir to coat.
- Add vegetables stock (6 cups), canned tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in the masa (1/4 cup) diluted in water (1/4 cup).
- Turn heat to low and cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- Add drained and rinsed beans, corn (1/5 cups), cilantro (1/2 cup), and lime juice. Continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the beans to warm and for the soup to continue thickening.
- Serve topped with fixings, if desired.
Notes
- This soup freezes well in an airtight container for up to 6 months. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it when you are ready to serve.
- To make homemade baked tortilla chips to top the soup: Cut 6 corn tortillas into small strips. In a bowl, mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt to taste. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until chips are crispy.
- The longer you cook the soup, the mushier the sweet potatoes will be. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on your preference, but a benefit to cooking the potatoes for a long time is that they will disintegrate into the soup and help thicken it a bit.
