Meatless Monday Stew

This is adapted from the stew going all over Pinterest, Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa Recipe

I have made the original recipe and loved it, but need a quick idea for dinner Monday.
Monday's we are meatless and I changed it up on what we use more often, like Sweet Potato instead of the Squash.  It turned out great and Draven inhaled it for lunch today.  It is extremely satisfying feeding you child a healthy meal!  This will definitely be in the rotation.

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato cooked and cubed. 
• 1 1/2 c.ish cooked quinoa- Andy added even more into his bowl
• 3 1/2 cupsish chicken broth-totally didn't measure, just added as much juice as I wanted
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 c.ish frozed peas
• 1/2 c.ish frozed shelled edamame(soy beans)
• 2 tomatoes diced
• Cilantro diced
• 1 large kale leaf diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• kosher salt, to tast

Instructions

1. Cut ends of Sweet Potato, cook @400 for an hour, cool and dice
2. Cook quinoa as directed. (We buy the pre-rinsed/soaked, takes 15 min to cook)
3. In large pot, heat Olive oil on medium. -if you were to add onion this would be the step, we didn't have any on hand. (Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is starting to turn brown, 8 to 10 minutes.)
4. Add minced garlic and oregano. Cook, stirring, for 1 additional minute.
5. Pour in most of the Chicken broth, add tomatoes, peas, soy beans, black beans, kale, and cilantro.  Stir to combine.
6.  Bring to a boil. Boil for 6-8 minutes , you want the peas and soy beans to soften. 
7. When beans and peas are cooked, add in quinoa and sweet potato. Add more chicken broth as needed 
8. Add salt and pepper to taste- I like to add a little then most to your own bowl, so the baby doesn't get much salt.

It was super easy and relatively fast because I cooked the sweet potato earlier that day.
