In fact, this chicken stew recipe is so packed with healthy, nutritious ingredients that you can easily omit either the beans or the chicken to make it paleo\/whole30 compliant or vegetarian\/vegan.<\/p>\n

The secret ingredient that makes this taste so good is smoked paprika<\/a>. It gives the soup a slightly smoky flavor (which goes insanely well with the sweetness of the potatoes) <\/em>and makes it taste like it’s been cooking for hours.<\/p>\n

The stew isn’t spicy, but you can add some cayenne pepper to it if you want. Besides a bit of fresh parsley thrown in at the end, there aren’t any other spices besides salt and pepper, making the taste of the chicken, sweet potatoes, and black beans really shine through.<\/p>\n

And it’s thickened by mashing the sweet potatoes and beans up just a bit, meaning you don’t need to worry about adding any other ingredients, like flour or cornstarch, to thicken it to that hearty stew-like consistency.<\/p>\n
