    Broccoli Chickpea Soup with Sweet Potatoes

    The broccoli and sweet potato soup is a "cold day soup". It will warm you up from inside out, you'll get red cheeks while eating it, and if you overdo it with the chili and hot sauce (like I did), you will probably get a runny nose as well.

    But the soup is gooood, so good that you will probably have no problems eating it 3 days in a row (like I did).

    Broccoli Chickpea Soup with Sweet Potatoes

    Ingredients

    • Cheap and healthy vegetables like onions, garlic, broccoli, and sweet potatoes.
    • Spices like red chili flakes (to taste), cumin, coriander, turmeric, sriracha, or any other hot chili sauce you like. Again use to taste.
    • Alternative: make the soup with other vegetables. Try cauliflower, regular potatoes, carrots, and so on. Add spinach or kale.
    • Vegetable broth: use good quality broth, either homemade or bought.

    How to make broccoli sweet potato soup?

    • Prepare the vegetables, but keep them separated as they will come in the pot at different times.
    • Cook the onion first. Add the garlic and the spices. Stir well.
    • Add the sweet potato cubes and the chopped broccoli stem. You can make the soup using only stems if you have them leftover from making something else.
    • Add broth and cook for about 5 minutes or until the veggies are almost soft.
    • Add the broccoli florets and the drained chickpeas, and cook the broccoli and sweet potato soup until the sweet potatoes are soft.

    You can serve the broccoli chickpea soup immediately, or you can easily reheat it.
