Instructions
-
Heat oil in large soup pot. Add onions, carrots and celery; cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and coriander. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add black beans, kidney beans, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, harissa, and stock; bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender. Add farro and cook another 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with chopped scallions and serve.
Recipe Notes
Harissa, a North African chili paste, adds a nice depth of flavor and warmth to this chili, while the sweet potatoes compliment the spiciness. I've named this "fiery" after the deep red color from the harissa, not because it is that spicy.
