Sweet Potato Soup

Submitted by Shelly

I love this recipe.  I don't know if it is the pregnancy thing, but it just hits the spot for me.  Sorry this is not  a very accurate picture of the soup (it looks like there are tons of sweet potatoes and no broth or black beans).

1 Box of chicken stock (3-4 cups)
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can black beans
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 lb- 1lb Cooked chopped sausage (I often just use chicken since I normally don't have sausage on hand)
1 large or two small sweet potatoes chopped in small cubes
1-2 cups apple cider (or apple juice)

Let it all simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft and tender. About 15-25 minutes.
