Hasa Al Hummus Moroccan Chickpea Soup Food

MOROCCAN SPICED CHICKPEA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until the onions begin to turn translucent; lower heat if browning starts to occur. Add spices and saute a minute or so. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, broth, and sugar. Season with a couple pinches of salt and 10 grinds fresh pepper. Stir well. Chickpeas should be just covered with liquid. If level is shy, add some water so the chickpeas are just covered.
• Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to low and gently simmer for 45 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat. Use a potato masher to mash up some of the chickpeas right in the pot. Stir in the spinach and let heat through until wilted, just a couple minutes.
• Season again, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Serve soup, drizzled lightly with extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.

Steps:

• In a soup pot combine the chickpeas and water and bring to a rolling boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 hour. (Alternatively, you can also cook these in the pressure cooker) {You're looking for the chickpeas to be cooked with a bite to them} {Skip if using canned beans}
• While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onions, garlic, and hot pepper until they barely take on color; very slightly browned.
• Add the mixture and the remainder of the ingredients (except coriander & lemon juice) to the soup pot and simmer 30-45 minutes or until the chickpeas are soft. You don't want a "bite" to the chickpeas but firm and creamy.
• Garnish with coriander (or parsley), lemon juice & serve!
