Directions
Moroccan Spiced Chickpea and Lentil Soup, Nabbed this from a Whole Foods recipe Very good especially with the chamoula (separate recipe) This is very chunky, if you want a thin soup add more veggie broth, if you want a thicker soup take some of the chickpeas and lentils and puree them in a blender, then add them back into the soup , I made this soup for a friend She’s not fond of cilantro, so I cut down on that and added more parsley Also, threw in an extra cup of chick peas so as not to waste them and used fresh ginger rather than ground ginger My grocery store didn’t have a fennel bulb, so used an anise bulb I really liked the flavour and would definitely make this recipe again I also served it with corn bread It was a big hit , Made this soup for a football party and it was a big hit! I doubled the cinnamon and the garlic and served it with cornbread that my MIL made Yummy! Thank you for sharing!
