soup and salad

 
last night i decided to make a healthy-ish dinner - spicy sweet potato soup and mexican bean salad.  they were both a hit with the mister and super easy to make which means i'll definitely be re-visiting these recipes!  i did leave out a couple of ingredients in the soup (tomatoes and lime) but i think it worked out great without.  and in the salad recipe i followed it almost exact...sans lime and i subbed out kidney beans and cannelini beans for chick peas and butter beans and instead of a green pepper, i used yellow.  hmm, lots of subbing but i don't think it compromised the flavour of the salad in the end :)
