EGYPTIAN CHICKPEA AND TOMATO SOUP

Egyptian Chickpea and Tomato Soup image

An easy and filling dish. The overall aroma is sweet from the allspice but each bite is a perfect blend of flavors. The original recipe was found on recipes4us.co.uk but I've altered it to suit my tastes. I have also made this soup using leftover, unseasoned rice and sometimes subbing chicken broth for some or all of the water. Thanks to Kumsie, I've deleted an unnecessary step from the directions to help clarify the use of the coriander (cilantro). :)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimientos
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice; or 1 pound fresh tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth, or 2 cups homemade chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 limes cut into wedges
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

In a large stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic, cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the pimientos and tomatoes, cover and cook gently for 10 minutes. Add the stock, chili powder and paprika and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Using an immersion blender (or transfer to a food processor or blender), puree until almost smooth.

Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the soup.
Add a pinch of sugar to the soup to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint, for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the soup with a side of toasted pita bread or crackers for dipping.
