Antiangiogenesis Food-Soup's On

Delicious Mexican Soup

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces
3 cups organic vegetable broth
1/2 tsp cumin
1 cup organic corn, cooked
1 cup mild or medium salsa (taste preference)
8 oz tomato sauce (organic hard to find)
2 cups (organic preferred of course) cooked dry black beans
cilantro garnish
Organic not necessary for sweet potato and onion but always preferred, cost being a factor.

Heat oil in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion for 3 minutes or until soft and translucent.
Add sweet potato, broth, and cumin; cover and reduce heat. Simmer 15 minutes or until sweet potato is tender. Process soup in blender in two batches until smooth after letting cool 10 minutes.
Stir in corn, salsa, tomato sauce and beans. Simmer, covered, 5 minutes to blend flavors. Cilantro is your antioxidant garnish.

IBS NOTE: Blend also the corn and most of the beans in the mixture and you are all set to make the best of the soluble fiber inside the bean. Corn is hard to digest so why not puree?

One of the hardest things do is balance an antioxidant diet with an IBS diet. The antioxidant diet uses so much insoluble fiber for health. Soups and purees are a great answer for the tough balancing act.
