• 4 cups Chicken Broth
• 1 whole Medium Carrot, Chopped Coarse

1. 1. Heat oil over medium heat in a pot. Add the beef and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes each side. (I kept the beef in large pieces to make this step easier, but you could cube it first if you want.) Set beef aside.
2. 2. Add onions and garlic to the pot and fry for a few minutes.
3. 3. Then add the tomatoes, broth, carrot, bell pepper, bay leaves, chiles, allspice, thyme, beans, and salt to the pot. Return the beef to the pot and bring everything to a boil. Then reduce to a low simmer for 30 minutes.
4. 4. Add quinoa and sweet potatoes and simmer 15 more minutes.
5. 5. Add the kale and simmer 15 more minutes. Then check to see that the sweet potatoes and quinoa are cooked through and the kale is tender. Remove bay leaves, allspice and chiles. Serve.
