    How to Prepare Sweet Potato and Chickpea Peanut Stew [Vegan]

    1. If using vegetable bouillon, dissolve cube in hot water, according to the package directions, enough to make 2 cups. Then prepare your vegetables.
    2. In a soup pot, over medium-high heat, sauté the onion in 1/4 cup of the veggie broth, sprinkled with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook the onions until they are translucent and slightly golden. This will take about 10 minutes to get a nice, sweet onion flavor. If the onions begin to dry out, sprinkle them with a bit more veggie broth.
    3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
    4. Pour in the rest of the veggie broth followed by the fire-roasted tomatoes and the coconut milk. Stir to combine, bringing the temperature back up to simmering.
    5. Stir in the peanut butter. The peanut butter will “break” at first, meaning that it will separate and appear curdled. Just keep stirring and it will emulsify in a minute or two.
    6. Add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, other 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, chili powers, ginger, and sugar. Continue to simmer until the yams are soft, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    7. Add the kale leaves and simmer for 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
