3. As the beans, broth, and onions simmer, cook the sweet potato in the microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or use the preset potato setting.

Tip: Stab potato a few times all around with a fork to help it cook evenly in the microwave.
5. When done, chop up the sweet potato and add to the pot, mixing together and adding more cumin, salt, or pepper as desired.

Tip: I leave the skin on because I enjoy it and because it contains extra nutrients, but it's not necessary.
4. Pour straight into a bowl and enjoy with jalapeños, salsa, or chips on top.
