2 cups | sliced carrots |
1 | large sweet potato, cut into 1/2" cubes |
1 cup | fresh or frozen green beans |
1/2 cup | fresh cilantro, chopped |
1 | small onion, diced |
1 clove | garlic, minced |
2 (15-ounce) cans | black beans, 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 | Low-Sodium V8 |
2 cups | Pacific Bone Stock |
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 when serving, if desired.
NOTE: 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.
To make this even more of a Superfood Soup, add 2 cups coarsely chopped kale the last 5 minutes of cooking, or until wilted.
