Directions:Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the onions and lower heat until sizzling quietly.
Add the spices when the onions are soft and translucent.
Slowly sauté and stir this mix until the onions are really, really soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped dates, carrots and sweet potatoes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Stir to coat the vegetables in the spices and oil.
Add the tomatoes and stir.
Add the vegetable stock.
Bring the soup to a boil and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Add the chopped yellow peppers and chickpeas and stir the soup.
Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer until the yellow peppers are tender and the sweet potatoes are quite soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the greens to the pot (and more stock if necessary) and cook until just-wilted, about 1 minute. |

Notes: Make sure to coat the veggies with the spices. I don't usually add the greens. Like many stews, it's even better the next day.
