Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Instructions

  1. Spread the dry beans out on a baking sheet and pick out any pebbles.
  2. Place the beans in a big soup pot, cover with water by 3 inches and allow them to soak overnight or for 6-8 hours, then discard that water.
  3. Return the soaked beans to the pot and cover with 3 inches of water again, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, put the cover on and allow to cook until the beans start to get tender but still firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain the beans.
  4. Heat the oil in a soup pot over med-high heat.
  5. Add the onion along with a pinch of salt and saute until softened and golden.
  6. Stir in 1 tbsp of ground cumin, add the beans along with the broth or water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 30 min.
  7. Meanwhile peel and chop the sweet potatoes.
  8. Wash the kale, remove the stems and chop the leaves.
  9. Remove half of the beans and liquid and set aside to cool a bit.
  10. Add the sweet potatoes and kale to the pot with some salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  11. Transfer the cooled beans to a blender and puree until smooth, then return them to the pot.
  12. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp of ground cumin.
  13. Now add 1 tbsp of the chipotles in adobo. Taste and continue to add more until it has a spice level that you like.
  14. Adjust the salt & pepper as needed.
  15. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
