a recipe for azimom... [recipe] Gypsy Soup ~ more like stew

[Guest guest]

This soup/stew is so delicious.

You can use a cut up squash, yam or more potatoes in place

of the sweet potato. I like this because flavors blend so

well and it is nice and thick like a stew.

 

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

In sleep what are you, in sleep,

in the ebb of the tide:

a body dormant, a thing breathing,

or a soul afloat?

What are you in sleep

in the small watch of the night

but a ray of life regathering forces,

the secret retreat of light.
