Spicy Kidney Bean and Sweet Potato Soup
Jamaican red peas soup was the inspiration for this recipe. Many traditional recipes call for cooking dumplings in the broth as well as meat. We opted for canned beans and skipped the meat, though you can stir in some cooked chicken or serve the soup with rice for a more substantial meal. If using a habanero or Scotch bonnet chili, remove seeds from the chili halves to tone down the soup’s spiciness.
