Ingredients

1 lb red beans, cooked (or 2 15 oz can)
1 lb sweet potato
1 tablespoon pureed fresh garlic
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 cups chopped green peppers
1 large bay leaf, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried spearmint
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups tomato puree, canned (suggested Progresso)
2 cups tomatoes with basil, canned (suggested Progresso)
salt and pepper
red wine vinegar or cider vinegar

Steps:

Peel and chop the potatoes, setting aside in a bowl, covered with water.
Saute the garlic, onion, and pepper with the bay leaf and other spices, in the olive oil.
(The pot will need to be about a 6 qt pot.) When the vegetables are beginning to soften, add the canned tomato products and the beans.
Stir and let come to a boil.
Let boil briefly and then proceed.
Add the potatoes and water, and cook until they soften and the soup begins to thicken.
Stir often enough to prevent burning.
When the potatoes are done thru, season with salt, pepper and vinegar to taste.
