I wanted something “soupy”, but also hearty and filling. So I bulked up this chili with tons of beans and sweet potatoes, and it really did the trick!

About The Recipe

  • If you are making the beans from dry beans instead of canned, cook 2 cups of dry beans.
  • If you have any other veggies you prefer or want to add, toss them in!
  • Try to cut your sweet potatoes as uniformly as possible so they cook evenly.

About Sweating Vegetables

  • Sweating veggies is easy. Just keep the heat super low. The key indicator that you are doing it correctly is that you can just barely hear the sizzle in your pot or pan.
  • The point of sweating veggies is to draw out the flavor without browning the veggies. Should you choose to saute the veggies instead, nothing bad will happen. Feel free!
