Instructions for Instant Pot

• You can make this stew either in the Instant Pot (pressure cooker setting) for 20 m using pre boiled or canned chickpeas.

Instructions for Stockpot

• Sauté onions and garlic in 1 cup of veggie broth.
• Once soft, add in all the chopped tomatoes and celery.
• Add 1 more cup of veggie broth as needed to prevent sticking.
• Once the tomatoes have released their water, add in the crushed tomatoes and remaining veggie broth and add all other ingredients.
• Let it simmer for 1 - 2 hours on low heat, stirring occasionally.

Once cooked through you should have a flavorful stew that is perfect for spring, fall or winter weather. I promise the Moroccan Chickpea Stew will not disappoint. 

Have you tried my other soup and stew recipes? I suggest the Thai Coconut Noodle Soup, the Simple Vegetable Soup or the Garlicky Potato Soup since these are favorites in my own home!

Soups & stews are a great way to get healing veggies into your kids and into yourself. They are warm, comforting and delicious.
