Equipment

  • large pot
  • stove

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato diced
  • ½ a large red onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 stalk celery chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 1 can low sodium tomatoes diced
  • 1 large can organic chickpeas rinsed or you can cook your own from dried
  • 2 tomato cans of water
  • big fistful of spinach
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 tbsp curry powder more to taste
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp sea salt and cracked pepper
  • nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • In a large pot, add coconut or olive oil and chilli flakes.
  • Add in onion and garlic until you can see the garlic start to brown. Doesn't take long!! Add in all your spices, reserving some sea salt and pepper.
  • Add in carrot and celery and cook for 2-3 min. Then add the sweet potato. Cook for another 3,4 min. Adding a touch of water to help along.
  • Once veggies start to soften add in tomato and the desired amount of water. Allow to come to a boil and reduce heat cooking until veggies are fork tender.
  • Add in chickpeas and cook for 3 min.
  • Add in a big handful of spinach just at the end. Check for more seasoning and get your bowls ready!!
  • I like to give it about 15 minutes to rest off the heat and then ladle into bowls. Finish with a sprinkling of nutritional yeast, olive oil and a pinch more sea salt and cracked pepper.
