I always love a healthy and delicious soup. Somehow, it just seems to make my feel that I'm doing the right thing and as a bonus they taste wonderful. It's a win - win thing.

How To Make north african chickpea and kale soup

1
Spray a large saucepan with olive oil spray and heat it. Add the onion and carrot and cook over medium-high heat until the onion begins to brown (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

2
Add the spices, including bay leaves and cinnamon stick, and cook, stirring, for another minute. Add the chickpeas and stir to coat them with the spices.
3
Pour in the 8 cups of vegetable stock, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes.
4
Add the chopped kale and stir. If necessary add water to cover the kale and cook until it is tender, about 10-25 minutes, depending on how cooked you like your kale.
5
Check frequently to see if it is becoming dry and add water as needed. Add salt to taste and serve.
6
Note: For a delicious one-pot meal, add a half cup of uncooked quinoa with the vegetable stock.
