Mediterranean sweet potato and carrot soup

It's hothlike outside. So I made soup for my lunches all week. It is amazing. The recipe makes 5 servings of delicious, healthy soup. Wanted to log it so I can make it again.

2 t olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 t garlic crushed
I t ginger, crushed
1 t ground coriander
2 t cumin
1/4 teaspoon chilli/ cayenne powder
2 medium sweet potato, peeled, diced
4 large carrots, peeled, sliced
6 cups vegetable/chicken stock
300g can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
2-3T lemon juice (to taste)

In a dutch oven pot, I sauteed the onions, garlic and ginger in the oil for 5 minutes, then added the spices and cooked another minute. Then I added the stock, scraping all the good stuff off the bottom of the pot, and adding the veg. I simmered the soup 20 minutes and added the chic peas to cook for another 10 min. When all the veg and chic peas are cooked, add the lemon juice and then puree up. Enjoy!
