   • Peel the sweet potato and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped sweet potato in a bowl and cover with water to prevent browning.
   • Mince the fresh garlic, dice the onion, and slice the green pepper. Set them aside for cooking.

2. Saute Aromatics:

   • In a large 6-quart pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic, diced onion, sliced green pepper, bay leaf, dried dill, dried basil, and dried spearmint. Saute until the vegetables begin to soften and release their aroma.

3. Add Tomatoes and Beans:

   • Once the aromatics are fragrant and tender, add the tomato puree and tomatoes with basil to the pot.
   • Stir well to combine all the flavors, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle boil.

4. Incorporate Sweet Potatoes:

   • Drain the soaked sweet potato pieces and add them to the pot with the simmering tomato and bean mixture.
   • Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, ensuring a hearty soup consistency.

5. Simmer and Thicken:

   • Let the soup simmer gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
   • Allow the sweet potatoes to soften and the flavors to meld together, creating a rich, thick soup base.

6. Season to Perfection:

   • As the soup cooks, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and a splash of red wine vinegar.
   • The vinegar adds a delightful tangy note that balances the sweetness of the potatoes and tomatoes.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the sweet potatoes are tender and the soup has reached your desired consistency, remove the bay leaf.
   • Ladle the piping hot Red Bean Sweet Potato Soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
   • Serve alongside crusty bread or a simple salad for a satisfying meal that warms the soul.
