Black Bean and Roasted Sweet Potato Soup image

I put this together on a chilly, rainy day with items I happened to have on hand. I threw everything in the slow cooker, so it was an easy meal as well as a tasty one. Roasting the sweet potatoes is not strictly necessary, but I think it adds flavor. This is one delicious soup!!
