Gypsy Soup

Honestly, I think I could live off of this recipe.  It is so, so good.
I actually just throw all of the ingredients into one big pot and let it cook for an hour or two.

INGREDIENTS:
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can chickpeas
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. celery, chopped
½ c. frozen peas
2 lg. yams cut into ½" cubes
1 lg. green pepper, chopped
2 t. paprika
1 t. turmeric
½ t. cumin
½ t. cinnamon
1 t. salt
4 c. water
pinch of red pepper, to taste
