After soaking, drain the beans and cook until tender in 2-3 gallons of water for 30 to 45 minutes. Drain. Saute the ginger and garlic in oil for 1 minute. Add the cayenne, onions, and cumin and saute until the onions are softened. Stir in the celery, peppers, and thyme and saute until tender. In a separate pot, cook the diced sweet potatoes at a rapid boil, until they are tender but not overcooked.
