Step 2

Add poblano, onion, chili powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in broth, sweet potatoes, tomatoes (with their juice), and beans. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes have softened, about 20 minutes.
Step 3

Stir lime juice into the soup. Ladle into 6 bowls and top each serving with radish slices, pepitas, queso fresco, avocado, and the tortilla strips.

Tips

Tip: Look for queso fresco, a mild Mexican cheese, in the dairy section of your grocery store, or use feta cheese in its place.
