[recipe] Gypsy Soup ~ crockpot and vegan

[Guest guest]

This is such a delicious soup recipe.

You don't have to cook it in the crockpot as I have

done. The original recipe by Mollie Katzen is different

from what I typed below, and she makes it quickly on

the stove top. I just prefer the slow-cooked flavor,

so when I have the time I do it this way.

 

Gypsy Soup

 

4 Tbs. vegetable oil

2 cups chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chopped peeled sweet potatoes

1 cup chopped celery

1 can chopped tomatoes

1 cup chopped sweet red peppers

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3 cups vegetable broth

2 tsp. smoked paprika

1 tsp. turmeric

1 tsp. basil

1 pinch of cinnamon

1 pinch of cayenne

1 bay leaf

1 Tbs. tamari

 

In a large saucepan, saute the onions, garlic,

sweet potatoes and celery in the olive oil for 5 minutes.

Add this mixture and all the rest of the ingredients to

the crock pot, stir to combine well and cook on low for

4 hours [or as long as you need to leave it].

Yield: 4 servings

" What should we toast to? "

" Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink.  But if you must lie,

lie in the arms of the one you love.  If you must steal,

steal away from bad company.  If you must cheat, cheat

death.  And if you must drink, drink in the moments that

take your breath away. "
