VEGAN CHICKPEA QUINOA STEW

This gluten-free, vegan chickpea quinoa stew lands somewhere between a stew and a hearty soup.

It’s hearty, healthy, easy to make in under 30 minutes, made with simple ingredients and can be made in advance as part of your weekly meal prep. However, since it’s so quick and easy, it also makes a great choice for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner too.
