1. Heat ghee in a large stockpot over medium heat.
2. Add onion, ginger, carrot, and celery and cook until onions are translucent about 5 minutes.
3. Add the sweet potato, butternut squash, and bay leaves. Sauté until vegetables are mixed well, about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally so they don’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
4. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are nearly soft.
5. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, quinoa, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa and veggies are soft and cooked well.
6. Stir in the kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Serve warm.

*Those with a Pitta prakruti should omit onion and black pepper.

*More or less vegetable broth can be added just depending on how “soupy” or “stewy” you want it.
