SOUPS

Morrocan Chickpea Soup

Cold snowy day here in Northern Alberta.  Thought I would try a new soup recipe…turned out fantastic.

 – 1 large diced onion
 – 4 cloves minced garlic
 – 1 tsp cinnamon
 – 1 tsp cumin
 – 1 tsp paprika
 – 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
 – 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
 – approx. 3 cups chicken broth
 – 2 14 oz cans chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

In a large saucepan, heated up with a couple tbsp of olive oil saute onions and garlic until translucent.  Add spices and stir for another minute or so.  Add tomatoes, broth and chickpeas.  Bring to a simmer, simmer on low for 45 mins.  Use a pototoe masher to mash some of the chickpeas.  Can also wilt some baby spinach in the soup to finish if desired.

Delish!

    This has been one of my favourite dishes for a long time. Mine is almost identical to yours, but I've started to add carrots and diced potatoes, which adds nice flavour and texture.
