Ingredients

• 2 medium (peeled and diced) Sweet potatoes
• 2 cups (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed) White beans
• 2 medium (peeled and sliced) Carrots
• 2 (chopped) Celery stalks
• 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
• 3 (minced) Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 14.5 oz can Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cups (optional, for stirring in at the end) Baby spinach
• 1 tsp (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 tsp (or to taste) Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes, peeling and slicing the carrots, and chopping the celery, onion, and garlic.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 3

In a large crockpot, add the sautéed onion and garlic, diced sweet potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and cooked or canned white beans.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes (with their juices).

Step 5

Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The stew is done when the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 7

If desired, stir in baby spinach during the last 10 minutes of cooking to allow it to wilt.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve warm in bowls, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Enjoy!
