Pour out the grease from the pot and return it to the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic and cook 10 minutes stirring several times. Move the vegetables to the side and add the curry powder, cinnamon, coriander and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and half teaspoon pepper, stirring it for about 10 seconds then stirring it into the vegetables.
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, both beans, sweet potato and cilantro. Add enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil, turn heat down and let simmer for about 40 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are soft but not mushy.
This soup can be frozen in jars.
