Chickpea Vegetable Soup (Recipe)

Ingredients

2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into small cubes

1 large yellow onion, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

2 carrots, peeled and cut into rounds

1 red bell pepper, cored and chopped
Kosher salt

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, more or less to your liking

2 15- ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon coriander

1 teaspoon cumin
¾ teaspoon turmeric

Dash red pepper flakes, I used Aleppo pepper

1 15- ounce can crushed tomatoes

6 cups vegetable broth

Juice of 1 to 2 limes

1 cup packed chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the sweet potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers. Season with kosher salt. Cook, tossing regularly, for 7 minutes or until the sweet potatoes have softened. Add the garlic, ginger, chickpeas, and spices. Cook for another 5 minutes, tossing regularly.

Add the crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot part-way and cook over medium-low heat for 25 minutes or until the flavors meld.

Turn the heat off. Add the lime juice and fresh cilantro or parsley, and a little more fresh ginger. Enjoy!

Enjoy!!!
