Sweet Potato Chick Pea Soup

2 Tbls Olive Oil
1 Onion, chopped
2 Cloves Garlic minced
2 peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
3 cups chicken broth, (2 cans)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1 can diced tomato
1 pkg of mixed vegetables
( I like the stir fry variety
Peas green beans peppers onion etc.)
1 Can Chickpeas, drained


In a sauce pan, heat olive oil and add onion, garlic and sweet potatoes;
saute 5 minutes.

Stir in broth, seasoning, and bring to a boil,
then reduce heat to med-lo simmer until sweet potato
is tender, but not mushy, about 15 min.

Stir in tomato, mixed veg, and chickpeas,
simmer until tender about 10 to 15 min.
Serve hot. (I was real tempted to add chicken to this,
but it doesn't need it.)
