[recipe*] Gypsy Soup ~ crock-pot recipe

[Guest guest]

Here is a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks

that I altered to adapt it to being cooked in my crockpot

while away from home. It is a wonderful soup; almost

more of a stew than a soup. I hope you will give this

healthy dish a try.

 

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
