VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN SWEET POTATO QUINOA SOUP

Healthy and delicious.  I use organic when I can.  I always look for items that do not have any form of sugar in the ingredients.  Items without sugar are extremely hard to find.  Here are some of the brands I love.  They do cost a little more but it is worth the quality.  The fewer ingredients on the list the better.  

This soup is beautiful and so good tasting and so good for you.
3 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 cup finely sliced celery
sauté this mixture for about 5 minutes and then add:
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons of good chili powder
stir to combine and then add:
1 carton of vegetable broth
1 jar of the marinara plus 1 jar of water
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans
1 large chopped sweet potato
and 1/2 cup raw quinoa

Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and let simmer gently stirring occasionally for about an hour.

This marinara has simple ingredients that you can pronounce.  I find it at WalMart.

Black beans are so good for you!

This vegetable broth is one of the very few that does not contain sugar.  Be careful most tomato products have added sugar.  Look at the label!
