1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the cinnamon, turmeric, and cumin and cook, stirring, until the spices are fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Add the vegetable stock, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, chickpeas, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Stir in the kale. Cook until slightly wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Serve warm topped with yogurt, red pepper flakes, and/or parsley, as desired.
