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!
5-Ingredient Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili
Ingredients
CHILI
- 1 medium yellow or white onion (diced // coconut or olive oil)
- 3 medium sweet potatoes (scrubbed clean + chopped into bite sized pieces // organic when possible // 3 potatoes yield ~4 cups)
- 1 16-ounce jar salsa (chunky is best)
- 1 15-ounce can black beans (with salt // if unsalted, add more salt // slightly drained)
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 2 cups water
OPTIONAL SPICES:
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
- 1-2 tsp hot sauce
FOR SERVING (optional)
- Fresh cilantro
- Chopped red onion
- Guac / Avocado
- Lime juice
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, sweat onions in 1 Tbsp oil and season with a healthy pinch each salt and pepper (amounts as original recipe is written // use more or less if altering batch size). Stir and continue cooking on medium heat until translucent and soft.
- Add sweet potato and any desired spices at this time (I went for chili, cinnamon, cumin, and chipotle powder – all are optional). Cook for 3 minutes. Then add salsa, water, and vegetable stock.
- Bring mixture to a low boil on medium high heat and then lower heat to medium-low and simmer. Add black beans, cover and cook for at least 20 minutes more, preferably 30 – or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender and the soup and thickened. This soup is at its best when prepared the night before or allowed to rest for a few hours so the flavor marries with the vegetables and beans.
- Serve with fresh cilantro, onion, avocado, and/or lime juice. Chips make an excellent spoon.
Notes
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
Gemma says
Thinking of using this chili as the base for a work chili competition. Advice — do you think this chili would work well with your chipotle salsa as a base and maybe some fire roasted tomatoes to make it chunky? Also, does anyone have advice for making it less soupy?
Melissa says
I made this over the weekend and it was awesome! The rest of my family eats meat so my husband bought a rotisserie chicken and shredded it to go on top. Even my father who hates beans and subscribes to the school of thought that chili can only be made with beef and more beef loved it! We served it with avocado and lime. I had some extra plain quinoa from another meal and put the chili on top and it made a great addition because the first day it was a but more soupy. My husband and I both enjoyed the leftovers for lunch, it tastes even better and gets thicker the next day! Great recipe, thank you!
Amanda says
Do you have a crock pot recipe similar to this
No! But others tried this recipe out in the crockpot and had success. Check the other comments for tips!
Daniel says
I appreciate the simplicity and speed of this recipe and the others you publish.
I am sure you know that it is cheaper and healthier to have spent 30 minutes a previous day making vegie soup stock. Buying dry beans and cooking them is also a money-saver.
I realize that this would take longer than the limits you set, but if people are breaking into cooking using your guidance, it can’t hurt to clue them in about next steps they should take as a cook.
Chris Nadeau says
I have very basic skills in the kitchen. I just made this for the family and they all loved it and I looked like a Red Seal Chef in their eyes. :-)
Thank you!
Jason says
Has anyone tried this with the green chile salsa? Also, you suggest using organic sweet potatoes. Are they better for you? I see them in the store and they are pretty expensive.
Jackie says
Delicious! I ate this with a big handful of chopped cilantro (love fresh herbs) and I added a healthy dose of garlic powder and cinnamon while it was cooking and it came out awesome. Will definitely make this again!
Allison says
Anyway to add chicken to this? My husband wont consider it a meal without some meat but it looks amazing and I want to try it!
Go for it!
Melissa says
My husband bought a rotisserie chicken and shredded it to put on top and really enjoyed it.
Serena Randall says
I made this last night for dinner and it was delicious! I added a can of kidney beans, chopped garlic, chili powder, cumin and unfortunately I had to use chicken stock because I forgot to get veggie stock a the store. I will definitely be making this again!
Rachel says
I had this for dinner tonight and it was SO good! I cooked it in my crockpot on low for about ten hours. My crockpot is only 1.5 quarts, so I threw everything in and then just covered it with vegetable stock. I’m sure I ended up using a lot less liquid than this recipe calls for, but it came out fine. I also put a ton of hot sauce in right before eating :) will definitely be making this again!
Andi says
I just made this this morning, it was so easy to make, and tastes so good! I didn’t have any chili powder, but that doesn’t seem to have made a difference with this tasty chili. Easy to make and super tasty. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Cathy S. says
I just made this for the first time and I am in LOVE! Absolutely delicious! I did make some changes using 2 cans of beans, added frozen corn, some garlic, cinnamon (a must, totally enhanced the flavor!!), chili pepper, cumin, and only used 1c of chicken stock to mine (I prefer a thicker chili). I actually didn’t have a can of salsa, so used two cans of drained fire roasted tomatoes instead. And also added 1/3 cup of craisins (which added a nice tangy flavor). So easy, healthy, and delicious. And I have plenty left for tomorrow. I am bookmarking you page to try more of your recipes.
Brenna says
I really was surprised by this one. Followed directions adding 4-5 teaspoons from a can of peppers in adobo sauce I had left over instead of hot sauce and chipotle. Amazing. Used toppings as described. My son commented “This ones a keeper !” Thank you for another amazing meal.
Brenna says
Hey! Got away from me before I could press the fifth star! Even BETTER after it sits for a bit..Amazing!
Sheri says
As my boyfriend says, “This is a do over!” Excellent, fast, and easy, just the way I like it. Next time we are going to add chicken and use shredded cheese for garnish. I’m not one who loves to be in the kitchen and I’m alway looking for something fast, healthy and delicious.

Beth says
Super easy recipe and really yummy. I added garam masala, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and paprika to mine. Yum!
Jim mills says
Came home on a snowy January night. Wanted something hot, satiating, and had all ingredients in stock including garnish of avocado, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Spiced used were salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder. Used rotel instead of salsa. Blue corn tortillas served with. Absolutely a new favorite. My wife and I enjoy healthy with lots of flavor. This is the capital of Flavor town, USA
Michelle says
So, so good!! Thank you!! ❤️
Teresa says
Hello! I am wondering if I can feature you 5 ingredient chili recipe in one of my client’s newsletters? We would, of course give you full credits and link backs.
thank you!
Hi Teresa! See instructions here.
Mark says
LOVE IT!! I stumbled on this recipe and website via a basic search for “healthy recipes.” I am so hapy I came across Dana and Minimalist Baker!
I am enjoying this recipe as I type now! I pretty much followed the recipe as written with few changes. And because I don’t have a large pot I used a crock pot and left the ingredients in for 4 hours on high, stirring every hour or so. So amazing! A bit spicy but I like the heat (I did use cayenne and another Trader Joes chili spice). I’m also enjoying with Trader Joes blue corn tortilla chips. Although I am not vegan/vegetarian I do prefer to eat as much plant based as I can…my girlfriend is vegetarian and is gonna love it!
Thank you Dana!
Mark
jenna says
Can this be made in a crock pot?
Hannah says
My husband and I come back to this time and time again. It was the first recipe of yours that we made and it majorly helped our transition to a vegan lifestyle! We use red onion in the chili and omit some of the vegetable stock and water so that it is more chili-like and less soupy. It is so delicious and we can’t get enough! Love to eat it with tortilla chips…instead of forks or spoons, of course :)
Samantha says
Hands down one of the most wonderfully delicious fall recipes! Even the omnivore husband went back for seconds…and thirds. I even added a little raw “sour cream”. This will be in the weekly rotation!!!
Senae says
I loved this so much! It’s simple to make, filling, hearty, and flavorful. I added all the optional ingredients and toppings except for chipotle powder. I used organic spicy black beans from Kroger instead of the plain to spice it up since my husband loves anything spicy and added an additional can of mixed beans because I need more protein. I also added half of a chopped bell pepper. My husband wasn’t a fan of the sweet potato in the chili. I thought it was perfect. Having sliced avocado, cilantro, and diced red onions for toppings really made this taste fresh and enhanced the flavor greatly. We also had a side of tortilla chips.
I made this with very limited time between getting home from our homeschool co-op and leaving for baseball… I turned my oven on to the “keep warm” setting, made the chili in my Dutch oven on the stove in about twenty minutes, then covered it and moved it to my hot oven, turned the oven off, and left it while we went to my son’s baseball game. When we got home, I chopped up the red onion, cilantro, and avocado and had a wonderful meal ready within a couple of minutes.
Ingibjorg says
Made it last night and enjoyed it today. Amazing! So simple. I didn´t use the two cups of water or the cinnamon but added sweet and smoked paprika, corn and kidney beans.
Thank you very much Dana and all the others, your comments were very useful :)
Ana says
Thank you sooo much for this awesome recipe!! My family and I loved it so much!! Can’t wait to make it again tonight! Thanks again!??
Ryan says
Just made this for the first time. The spices make it taste so good! Especially the cinnamon! Such an easy week night meal. Thanks!
Ron says
Another one of my favorites. This is super easy to make and comes together so nice and quickly. Definitely a staple in our house.
Marie-Pier says
Hey Dana!
This looks amazing! Do you think it’s possible to make it in a slowcooker? Would you recommend on high or low heat? Thanks !
I don’t use slow cookers, but I’d recommend high heat at first to get some color on the ingredients and flavor, and then cook it on low to develop the flavors. Good luck!
Annemie Duquet says
Bumped on your website whilst searching dinner recipes, and had all the ingredients for this one so I went with this. LOVED IT. Was going to take a picture but I was too hungry :D.
Weston says
Dana, I love your site and pre-ordered your book… twice! (original Amazon listing and current one ;)
I have a question regarding all your sweet potato recipes. How many ounces/grams do a medium or a large sweet potato weigh? I usually buy 1 pound bags of fresh, chopped sweet potatoes at Target.
Thanks!
Usually a medium sweet potato weighs 150 g.
Laura says
You guys never disappoint! I used Publix supermarket brand chipotle salsa and it turned out really great. I could eat this all day. Thanks so much!
bri says
I used your recipe more as inspiration and validation for a lazy day “what do I have in my cupboard?” recipe! So here’s what I did: sautéed 1 small diced white onion in 1 TB vegan butter; added chopped tomato pieces when they became translucent. Cook until tomatoes are soft and onions aren’t browning. Add 1 can veggie stock, some water, 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can drained and rinsed black beans, 1 can drained and rinsed kidney beans. Bring to boil while adding lots of chili powder, some salt, cumin, garlic powder, tobasco, jalapeno tobasco, black pepper, & cayenne pepper. I also took a cup out of the mixture and mixed 1 TB of flour as a thickener, transferred the mixture back to the pot. Cooked over 30 minutes and kept adjusting flavors. (Let me say I rarely follow recipes exactly. Hopefully what I’ve posted will provide inspiration incase anybody has these ingredients in their pantry :P)
Abby says
So amazing. Did not think such a simple recipe could taste this astounding. Going to make this many more times! I used two cans of black beans for added protein and fiber, and it worked out perfectly. Thanks for this!
LL says
I wouldn’t call this chili….and Black Bean Chili at that is a stretch. My mother thought it was “Sweet Potato Soup.” There were barely any black beans compared to sweet potatoes and mine were definitely on the smaller side of medium. It was also very sweet for a chill. It was okay and definitely edible/good but yeah…1. The ratio–too many sweet potatoes. 2. Too sweet.
Raquel says
I made this in my slow cooker overnight and my house now smells awesome in the morning. I left out the two cups of water and it turned out perfect. Thanks formthe awesome recipe!
Xiomara says
This was so simple and so delicious! I added all of the spices and some cilantro. Unfortunately the avocado I had was past it’s prime, but I opted for crispy tortilla strips. Like someone mentioned in the comments, I can’t wait to try it with different salsas!
Jenn says
Well I made this tonight, and I am terribly disappointed, which is surprising as I normally love all your recipes!
There was barely any flavor (even with the added spices) and it was so watery it really should be labeled as a soup instead of a chili. I was able to add a few things to it, which meant an additional grocery store visit, so the $15 or so weren’t thrown away. But yeah. Pretty disappointed.
*If anyone is wondering — I added a can of tomato sauce, 1 small can of paste, 2 cans of rotel w/ chilis and some ketchup. It thickened up quite a bit and has more flavor now. I also added more hot sauce and more chili powder — but I like my chili spicy :) With the additions, it’s closer to 4 stars.
Bern says
Very good! I wasn’t sure this recipe existed, but I wanted something different. I did add the chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon. Also a tbsp. brown sugar and 3 tbsp. corn starch to thicken the broth. My vegetarian son will love it!
Heather says
I made this today and it’s delicious! I used organic vegetable broth and Neal Brothers organic corn salsa. Serving it with homemade pita crisps and shredded aged cheddar…mm mm good!
nuki says
It looks delicious ? is it possible to freeze it for later use i’m a Student and I don’t have a lot of time for cooking and I just started yo learn how to Cook and I ‘m not sure what I can freeze if you have a few advices that would be great
bri says
chili is great to freeze :) just not sure about cooked sweet potatoes…
Tiffany Walters says
This has to be the best chili I’ve ever tasted, meat or no meat. Even my meat loving husband agreed!
The Flavours! I love the blend of spices and the use of cinnamon! Also the texture and fullness of this is superb.
I did make some changes to the recipe as I made it. I doubled the recipe except for the water, added a 16 fl oz can of tomatoes and a can of tomato paste. It worked perfectly <3
Thanks again so much!
Sarah Fields says
Just tried this, and it is AMAZING! I put in extra beans and salsa and am in love! Bravo!
Lisa says
My boyfriend and I love this so much we’ve made it 5 times in the past 4 weeks. We’re on a budget, and we needed something cheap but filling, and we will probably be surviving on this chili for the rest of winter.
Trisha says
This was super easy to make, but definitely more of a soup than a chili. I added more sweet potato and a double the black beans, but with 4 cups of liquid it was still on the soupy side. Flavor was excellent though!
CD Caldwell says
This was a big hit! Thank you for the recipe. We will def make again.
Lynn says
This dish is delicious!!!! I used chicken broth instead of the veg, added corn, & leftover lentils which made it thicker. This is a keeper!!!! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to try other recipes on your site!
Laura says
We’ve made this a few times and i wanted to say thanks for the recipe! It is more of a soup, but it’s still great. Plus it is a great base recipe to mix up based on what you have on hand. I especially like adding corn!
Dinu says
Hi there! Found your blog as I was googling what to do with my sweet potatoes and black beans and was glad to find a simple recipe that didn’t require going out in the cold! I didn’t have chipotle at home but threw in a dash of cayenne, paprika, and allspice in addition to the other spices you suggested. Made this in 20 minutes with dried black beans in my pressure cooker, and pureed a quarter of it in my immersion blender at the end. This took care of the extra liquid other commenters posted about but still left beautiful orange chunks of sweet potato and made for a hearty, thick (and very healthy!) stew. Loved the addition of lime too!
Elizabeth says
Fabulous idea – a quick, healthy chili is a must have recipe! However, as other readers commented, the recipe is waaay watery. I cut the fluid called for in half and it was still soupy. Added some cornstarch and it was delicious but will have to experiment more for a thicker consistency. I added some soy chorizo and threw it all in a Crock Pot for 3.5 hours on high and it was cooked to perfection!
Alex says
hallo,
This is a wonderful recipe, I am just making it now for thw fourth or fifth time, who counts? Love it, love it, love it! So easy and quick to make and although I prefer to cook the benas from the scratch,mit does not take too long. I cook the dish in the evening so everything’s ready for lunch te next day. Don’t wait a sec guys, make it ASAP!
Col says
Great recipe! I feel like this should be called at least a 6 ingredient recipe… Under “optional” spices is chilli powder? Isn’t this a chili recipe?! I feel like that shouldn’t be optional just to keep it to 5 ingredients… What is chili without chili powder?
Love it with the sweet potato and avocado goes so well with it! Also, love the heartiness without the meat!
Nick says
Such an awesome recipe! Thank you so much. My omnivore family even liked it!
Ann Nicholson says
Yummy yummy in my tummy.This was wonderful and super easy.Brave :)
Debbie Hirsch says
Hi Dana! I made this Sunday for dinner tonight! It was delicious, perfect comfort food on a chilly night in the Carolinas. Soooo easy with just 5 ingredients! Took a picture but not sure how to post it here. Thanks for all of your yummy recipes!!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Debbie!
Ellen Lederman says
Wonderful! Can’t wait to have again tomorrow night—should be even better. It was soupier than I anticipated—but that was my fault—you did call it a soup.
My only subs were roasting the sweet potatoes…and a teaspoon or two of cocoa powder to deepen it and make it more mole-ish (plus, we know cocoa/chocolate is a health food, right)?
With all your great recipes, we seldom want to want go out to eat! The restaurant owners in Atlanta might hate you for this, but Andy and I love you!
Ha! Thanks for sharing, Ellen!
Mallory says
I made this chili and it turned out great!! I used a couple different kinds of salsa – one was pico de gallo and one was Trader Joe’s Harvest Salsa. I also used 2 different kinds of sweet potatoes because I accidentally bought white sweet potatoes at the store.
Yay! THanks for sharing, Mallory!
Polly says
GUESS WHAT!!! WE WON!!!! We had a chili cook-off at work today, and i entered so i’d have something to eat at the party. Doubled the recipe – ultimately tripled it b/c it was so tasty… had to keep checking it lol. Added all the optional spices – people kept wondering about the cinnamon. CONGRATS, DANA!
Such great news! Congrats!
John says
I made this for the first time and it was really good (I went with all the optional,spices as well). However, as previously mentioned, mine was a little soupy as well but tasted great nonetheless! So next time I’ll probably just add 1 cup of water instead of 2. Also, can I add ground beef to this recipe (in addition to the sweet potatoe)?
Lauren says
I have made this recipe multiple time and it is AMAZING ! Definitely a crowd pleasure.
Emm says
This was SO good! I added 1 tsp of chili powder, cumin, and paprika each and it was perfectly spicy. Someone commented about it being soupy so I omitted one cup of water and scooped out about 1/3 of the sweet potatoes and a bit of liquid after cooking and gave them a few quick pulses in the blender. I dumped that back into the pot and the somewhat-pureed mixture distributed flecks of sweet potato that mimic the texture of meat. We served it with cornbread – so delicious! I’m already thinking up ways to use the leftovers. I’ll probably eat it paired with rice and maybe as chili over nachos.
Wonderful! thanks for sharing, Emm!
Alex says
Can you used diced canned tomatoes instead of salsa?
Allison says
Just made this, and I used cinnamon, chili powder, and cumin and it turned out fabulous! Best chili I’ve had yet! Thanks for the recipe!
Jessica F says
I made this this weekend with the cumin and cinnamon added and a chunky salsa that had roasted garlic too, it was amazing!!! Definitely will make again and share with my friends :)
Cora says
I’m just making the Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili. It looks & smells wonderful! I can’t wait to try it! I am wondering if it can be frozen? (I don’t know if this question has been asked, as I didn’t read all the comments.)
Absolutely! Place it in jars or whatever you prefer and it freezes for up to 1 month! Reheat however desired.
Maeve Gerboth says
This is delicious! I was on the hunt for something easy, healthy & vegetarian-friendly for a small dinner party. I am enjoying some leftovers for lunch as I type:) I think you’re right, it just keeps getting better & better with time. I didn’t have one of the spices listed so I added some cayenne pepper – which gave it some nice heat:)
I also took your suggestion of cooking it as long as possible and actually threw everything into my crock pot on low all day [after cooking the onions & sweet potatoes & spices in a pan first].
Thank you for this wonderful recipe!! I can’t wait try more.
p.s. also made your granola bars to bring to my sister who just had a baby and she LOVED them [me too]. They were a perfect late night snack when she was up at all hours to feed the little one:)
So great! Thanks for sharing and for following along Maeve!
Sarah says
I made this for dinner tonight since it’s 20 out. I only added chili powder to it, and it’s so delicious. It’s perfect for this weather. My boyfriend was a huge fan of it too even though he’s always skeptical about vegan meals and hates sweet potatoes.
haha, you won over the skeptical BF! That’s the ultimate test. Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
Sandra M says
Delicious! I just enjoyed a bowl of this and will definitely make it again. I added the optional spices and used chicken stock instead of vegetable broth and water. So very good!
Holly Denton says
Hello! I made this last night and love it! Just wondering how long can I keep it for? xx
Great! 3-4 days.
krystal says
I made this yesterday and it tasted good, but it was even better today ;). I accidentally used hot salsa so it’s SUPER spicy, but delicious nonetheless. I love this website!
Thanks Krystal!!
Maggie says
I love chili! I’ll even cook this in the 75 degree California weather :)
JEALOUS.
Esther says
This was delicious! I used kidney beans instead of black beans, and served it with quinoa and crisps. For spices I used 1 red chili pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika powder and cinnamon. I love how flavoursome this is – and yet, so easy to make!
Thanks for sharing!
Leah says
We used Japanese sweet potatoes and it was fabulous! Thanks for such a great, easy recipe!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Leah!
rebekah says
this was flipping amazing! I wish that I could give it ten stars. LOL I used only one cup of water, because I don’t like my chili soupy and I added corn. I scooped it up with Blue Corn Tortilla chips. =)
Wonderful! thanks for sharing, Rebekah!
Tracy | Pale Yellow says
I need to make this chili before winter ends. Love black beans and sweet potatoes together!
DO IT. Hope you love it, Tracy!
Joy says
This turned out fabulous! I added soy cheese, avocado and cilantro. Really filling and satisfying for these colder days!!!!
Sarah says
Made this chile this weekend & it was super yummy. Just what I needed to stay warm in this awful cold.
Jeanie says
Incredible! My mouth was totally having a fiesta! I used all the spices except the hot sauce. Also, I added a second can of black beans to make it less soupy…but with or without the second can, the flavors still sent my mouth dancing! (Fyi- I used smoky paprika chipotle seasoning instead of straight chipotle powder.) Thanks for sharing. Your photos are always a feast for eyes, too! My only regret is that we don’t have company eating with us tonight. This is a winner!
Jeanie says
Oops…that got sent before I’d clicked all five stars! Sorry!
Thanks Jeanie!!
Halie says
Made this soup last night and it’s delicious! Will definitely be making it again. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Jeffrey says
Liked it, but didn’t love it … unlike almost everything else I have made from this site. More soupy than I prefer for chili, so if I was to make it again, I’d cut back on the water or broth to see what happens.
Thanks for the feedback! And definitely after you cook it and let it set, it thickens. Adding a ton of chili powder and cumin also helps thicken / kick up the chili flavor!
Annie @ The Garlic Diaries says
This looks so comforting and flavorful. I love any variation of chili, and I love that this one only has five ingredients!
Michelle says
Came out great! I added kidney beans and sweet corn to the recipe. Served with a side of jalepeño cornbread. FANTASTIC! Thanks for the awesomeness!
Yay! I have a new cornbread recipe up, too now so check that out! I think it’d be great with jalapenos!
Gaby says
Chili is one of my favorites, and you can’t go wrong with sweet potatoes!
Alanna says
I made this last night and it was sooooo good!
Yay!! Glad you liked it, Alanna!
Sara says
This looks delicious! Will try this out.
Ria says
That chilli looks delicious!!! Definitely a warmer for this cold London weather
Ooh, stay warm across the pond!
Anna says
Yummyy!! Easy and delicious <3
Kelly Smith says
I am so love with sweet potatoes at the moment & love a sweet potato chilli! This one looks great – quick, simply, delicious! Thanks guys :)
I’ve had a bit of a moment with sweet potatoes for the last year. I eat them practically every day! Glad you understand.
Alexa [fooduzzi.com] says
Simple, comforting, and delicious!! What a great combination of flavors!
Carollida says
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to make if for my family.
DRAMA says
Ooooh! This looks so delicious!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Abby says
This looks SO good, Dana! I love the simplicity… I mean, only 5 ingredients?! Totally going to try this.
Heather Mason says
wow, only 5 ingredients, that’s amazing! Usually chili has at least 10 plus ingredients! never tried making chili with salsa before, I will have to give it a go!
It’s definitely down to the basics! Hope you love this one, Heather!
Nicole {VeganShowOff.com} says
Wow this is literally the easiest homemade chili recipe I’ve encountered! Yay, I just happen to like easy
You’re in the right place for easy. Hope you give this one a try, Nicole!
Cassie says
I love sweet potatoes and black beans!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
This is brilliant!! Love the limited ingredients and how easy this is! I”m already thinking of how fun it would be to use different jars of salsa in this as well!! Chili is certainly my go to right now, it’s FREEEZING
Hope you love this one, Sam!
Dana | fresh simple five says
My car was nice enough to tell me it was -2 out this morning… yikes! Soups and chili are definitely needed! I’ve never tried sweet potato in chili – sounds delish!
GROSS. That’s way too cold! If you love sweet potatoes, you’l love this chili!
Sarah Smith says
Perfect timing as I’m headed to the grocery store tonight! This looks INCREDIBLE and easy. I’ll report back after making. Thank you!!
Please do! Hope you love it, Sarah!
Mabel @ Ma Bella Vita says
This looks like the perfect dish to make during a snow storm or crazy cold day (like they ones we’ve been having in NYC). Will earmark this recipe for the near future. Love the avocado on top! Who wouldn’t?! :)
I feel so bad for that part of the country! Stay warm with this soup!
Will says
Dont feel bad its the best city in the world :-) thanks for the recipe!
Tina says
Husband loved it. I love that other than the pain of cutting raw sweet potatoes I had an easy make ahead meal for him since we work different shifts. I know he can heat this up and have something healthy and hearty. I did as suggested and added some heat – chili powder and red pepper flakes. I was out of cumin so I’ll have to try next time.
Oroma R. R. says
I definitely need to try out this recipe. It looks so yum!
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
Wow – so easy!! And definitely delicious looking. Avocado on chili just makes it soooo much better! Glad you agree :)
Can’t do chili without it!
Jacque says
Can’t wait to try this ~ just a couple of things to pick up (salsa and cilantro)
