This is based off of a recipe a friend shared with me, with just a few tweaks here and there. It’s hearty, delicious, and has exciting flavours. I love topping it with cool avocado to balance the sweet and spice of the stew.

Ingredients

-4-6 chorizo sausage links

-3 cups diced yams

-1 onion

-3 garlic cloves, crushed

-2 stalks of celery, diced

-1 large carrot, diced

-1 bunch of kale, roughly torn

-1 can of diced tomatoes

-2 tbsp tomato paste

-4 cups chicken bone broth

-1.5 tsp chili powder

-1 tbsp smoked paprika

-1 tsp regular paprika

-1.5 tsp oregano

Directions

1. Remove sausage casing and crumble the sausage into a large soup pot. Fry the sausage until it is cooked through, and then remove it and set aside, but save all the juices in the pot.
2. Add the onions, garlic, celery and carrots to the pot and fry for approximately three minutes.
3. Add the yams, herbs and spices and stir for another three minutes.
4. Add the tomato paste and diced tomatoes and stir. Then add the chicken bone broth, stir everything, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to let the yams soften.
5. Add the chorizo sausage back into the soup, stir, and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until heated through.
6. Ladle into bowl and serve with avocado if desired. This recipe makes about 6 servings.

Eat well, move your body, and have a great week!
