How Much Does This Make?

This will make 4 generous portions or 6 smaller servings. It should keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Does This Freeze Well?

Yep, freezes beautifully. I would divide it up into servings after cooking, place them in the fridge to cool, then transfer to your freezer for up to three months.

How Can I Make It Less Spicy?

1. DO remove all the seeds, membranes, and ribs of the jalapenos. This is where the heat is stored. Wash your hands after handling. 2. You can also just use a single jalapeno instead of two. 3. Or you can replace the jalapeno altogether with a green bell pepper. 4. Use regular diced tomatoes instead of the ones with green chile.

Instructions

Prep all your veggies by dicing the onion & peppers, mincing the garlic, and cubing the potatoes.
In a large soup pot, saute the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Use a splash of water or veg broth to keep them from sticking.
Add the peppers and mix well. Simmer until they too are softened.
Add the turmeric, cumin, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika and mix well
After 1 minute, add the tomatoes, potatoes, drained chickpeas, and broth
Mix well, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat
Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender
Blend some of the stew to thicken, either by using an immersion blender for a few seconds, or carefully blending 3-4 ladles of stew in your blender and returning to the pot
Add a handful of greens and stir them into the stew to wilt
Garnish with fresh lime juice, scallion tops, or cilantro
