Gypsy Soup

This soup is so incredibly excellent. I need to double the recipe next time.

INGREDIENTS

* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 cups chopped onion
* 1/2 cup chopped celery
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 2 cups diced peeled sweet potatoes
* 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 pinch ground cinnamon
* 1 pinch cayenne pepper
* 3 cups chicken stock
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1 cup chopped fresh tomato or one can of diced tomatoes
* 1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat olive oil in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic, celery and sweet potatoes for about 5 minutes, or until onion is soft. Season with turmeric, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne. Stir to blend, then stir in chicken stock and soy sauce. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
2. Add tomatoes and garbanzo beans to the soup, and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are tender.
