2 15 ounce cans navy beans (drained and rinsed -optional, black beans)
1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, optional
1 Tbsp and 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, optional (for serving 1/2 teaspoon per serving)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 small diced yellow onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 stalk diced celery
1 teaspoon paprika
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon allspice
Pinch of Kosher or sea salt (to taste)
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients, except for the olive oil and spinach, to the slow cooker.
2. Cook on low, with cover for 6-8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add spinach. Then stir and continue cooking just until wilted or for approximately 5 minutes.
4. Serve
Note: For a thicker soup, after 5 hours of cooking, just remove 1 cup of soup, along with the ingredients. Then mash ingredients with a fork, return to the slow cooker, stir and continue cooking for 1-3 hours. Drizzle a little olive oil over each bowl of soup, upon serving.
