Don't let the name decieve you, this isn't a really thick stew that will make you feel bloated and heavy after a few bites. I would identify with this as more a soup. This is by far one of the best soups I've ever tried. Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods on earth, so if you like sweet potatoes, you'll like this. Warm, sweet, and savoury, this soup has a surprising array of flavours and spices that will make your taste buds squeal with pleasure. And don't worry, there's no catch- this soup is very healthy! One bowl is only 250 calories, and its loaded with good veggies and protein. Try it! You won't be disappointed.
You will need:
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
3 cups water
3 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes
1 can (540mL) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp each ground cumin, curry powder, and chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp each peanut butter
Fresh cilantro
Serves for 6.
***TIP: Make sure you have all your ingredients out, chopped and prepared before you start cooking. I made a mistake of doing things as I went, and regretted it- I was rushing around making a mess of the kitchen! I was just too excited to start. But be prepared before you start putting things in the pan, don't make my mistake.
Prep:
1. Heat olive oil in large saucepan or pot over med-high heat. Add onions, celery, green pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften.
2. Add all remaining ingredients, (peanut butter and cilantro). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, about 20 minutes.
3. Stir in peanut butter and cilantro. Mix well. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
4. Serve hot and enjoy!
