Gypsy Soup. Found this in Jane Brody's Good Food Book. Also featured in The Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. You can subtitute the vegetables to what you have on hand, like carrots and green beans instead of the potato and green peppers.
Gypsy Soup is a one-pot soup that goes together quickly, yet is rich, spicy, and full of flavor.
Using the base of onions, celery, tomatoes, and spices called for in the recipe, any vegetables or beans can be added or substituted for those specified.

We are in the process of moving at the moment, so today I decided to make a batch of my favorite soup to enjoy after a long, cold day of packing and moving boxes. I discovered this recipe years ago and have made it over and over. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Moosewood was the first cookbook I bought when I made the decision to go vegetarian.
Gypsy Soup step by step
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot and add onion and celery. Sweat for five - ten minutes until starts to glisten.
- Add the sweet potato and garlic and sweat for another five or so minutes.
- Add the water amd all spices except for the salt and soy sauce.
- Simmer covered for 15 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas, tomatoes and all other vegetables. Simmer for a further 10 -15 minutes.
- Add the salt and soy sauce (tamari is a gluten free option if you need it)..
- Stir through, check your seasonings and serve..
- Note : you can use any vegetables really. As long as you have a root vegetable and something green for colour. I've used potatoes and brocolli instead of sweet potato and peas in the past. delicious! My partner likes his with a dollop of sour cream which is pretty yummy too :).
