Southwestern Sweet Potato and Black Bean soup

There can never be enough bean and lentil soups in my kitchen as I like to make big batches and eat them for lunches during the week. They are filling, nutritious and easy to eat cold if it is one of those days.

This soup is of the easy mostly from a can variety, but come July I make it with fresh corn and tomatoes and certainly the beans can be cooked from scratched if you are well prepared.
