Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup diced peeled sweet potato
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups water or ready-to-serve beef broth
- 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) black-eyed peas, rinsed, drained
- 1 can (13 1/2 ounces) light unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach leaves
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped thyme leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Brown ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings. Add sweet potato, onion, bell pepper and curry powder. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until onion and peppers are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour; cook and stir 1 minute.
Stir in water, black-eyed peas and coconut milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until sweet potato is tender. Stir in spinach and thyme. Cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
Cook's Tip: Regular fresh spinach, stems removed and coarsely chopped, may be substituted for baby spinach leaves.

This is the best soup I've ever tasted...and I don't just had out that title. Fresh tastes in this soup really balance each other out. My picky husband even went back for 2nds and said it was his favorite as well. This was a very simple recipe that will become a part of my family's kitchen staple.

While I believed this recipe would make a pretty tasty soup, my family was more than cautious when they found out the ingredient list. However, it turned out better than we all hoped. Everyone thought the flavors were unique and wonderful and all helped themselves to seconds! Only thing I would do is cut back on the Thyme...3 tablespoons made the flavor a LITTLE strong.
I recommend this recipe highly, especially if you are in need of something warm and comforting.
