Are you surviving winter? Are your chilled to your bones?

Sometimes the only fix is some hot tea and a giant bowl of soup. Trust me, I know.

May I suggest warming up with this 5-ingredient sweet potato black bean chili?

I think it’s just what we all need.

For as much soup and chili as I eat, I have no idea why I don’t have more chili recipes on the blog! This had to change. Enter: Sweet potatoes and black beans married together in a hearty, savory-sweet chili.

The ingredients are things you likely have on hand right now.

Onion

Black Beans

Sweet Potato

Veggie Stock

Salsa

That’s it! Just 5.

I’ve also included a few optional spices to amp up the flavor, as well as a few topping ideas if you’re into that (hand raised, very high). In a pinch this is the perfect, healthy weeknight meal or make-ahead dish to take for lunches throughout the week.

You all know I have a thing for sweet potatoes and black beans together, and this soup marries them perfectly. It’s:

Savory

Naturally sweet

Slightly smoky

Soul warming

Satisfying

Healthy

& Quick!

I made a batch and then froze several servings in mason jars to reheat throughout the week when I’m feeling particularly lazy (or cold). My favorite toppings include hot sauce, red onion, avocado and a few tortilla chips. Who am I kidding? All of the chips.

I hope you guys love this simple chili! If you try it, let us know in the comments or take a picture and tag it #minimalistbaker on Instagram! We’d love to see. Cheers!
