Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage (e.g., andouille or chorizo), sliced into coins
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.

Step 5

Stir in the chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken or vegetable broth, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Uncover the pot and stir in the baby spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
