  • Cook the quinoa according to instructions on the packaging. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until starting to brown. Next, add the carrot and bell peppers and cook for a further 5-7 minutes.
  • Now add the potato, sweet potato, garlic, spices, and flour. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes then add the nutritional yeast, almond milk, tamari and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
