Moroccan Chickpea Soup (Recipe)

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
  • 4 galic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)
  • 2 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon powder
  • 1 tbsp. cacao powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each can) chickpeas, drained
  • 6 oz. baby spinach
  • fresh parsley and lime wedges, to serve

Instructions

  • 1.  First, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil in a large pot over medium heat for about 5 minutes.


  • 2. Add the spices (cumin seeds, cinnamon, cacao powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes) and cook for 1 minute.


  • 3. Add the diced tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and chickpeas. Fill the empty diced tomato can with clean water and add it to the pot. Add the salt and stir everything. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are soft.


  • 4. Using an immersion blender, process this soup until about half is pureed. This is done to give a nice consistency to the soup. You can also scoop half of the soup into a blender and puree it there.


  • 5. Lastly, add the spinach and cook for a few more minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt. Taste for the seasonings and adjust, if necessary.


  • 6. Serve with some fresh cilantro or parsley and lime wedges.

Enjoy!
