    Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup,One of the best vegetable soups I’ve had in ages! Extremely easy to make and very cheap (leave out the saffron if you don’t already have any)! This lemony, peppery soup is traditionally enjoyed at the end of a day of fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This is a vegetarian version of the thick and aromatic soup. More like a stew. From the 2/2007 issue of Canadian House & Home.,used about four slices of fresh ginger, instead of the dry. . Also I increased the lentils to 1 1/2 cups and eliminated the flour for thickening.,This tasted great! My saucepan was not big enough so I made the recipe with a little less broth and onions. Used fresh ginger and a Serrano pepper instead of ground ginger and hot sauce. No saffron. All organic ingredients. Delightful for a first Moroccan dish to get used to the flavors.
