HASA AL HUMMUS -- MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SOUP
Hasa Al Hummus is a wonderful Moroccan vegetarian soup for a comforting winter warmer. Morocco adores her soups though there are not a million varieties. Many recipes online may taste good though are faux or Moroccan "style" soups. I can guarantee that from me what you get is completely authentic Moroccan fare. I owe this to those interested in Moroccan food/cooking that is authentic. This is a very simple basic soup as most Moroccan foods are. Go to a touristy, especially a fancy one, spot and you will get French food with Moroccan influences; not how we eat every day. We eat Moroccan food perhaps with a French influence or two though never vice versa. My housemaid Nasiha who is approximately 60 taught me this recipe. I say approximately as many in Morocco do not know their birthday. Whip this up like we do and enjoy! In a pinch you can use canned chickpeas. They are acceptable, merely omit the first cooking hour. As an aside, here, hummus is the word for chickpea, not the dip/spread.

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.
- While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onions, garlic, and hot pepper (we use a small straight pickled hot pepper from a jar) until they barely take on color; very slightly browned.
- Add the mixture and the remainder of the ingredients to the soup pot and simmer 1 hour or until the chickpeas are soft. You don't want a "bite" to the chickpeas but firm and creamy.
- NB: The preparation time does not include soaking the chickpeas.

MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SOUP
Clipped from the AJC, this recipe is from Cafe Intermezzo in Dunwoody, GA. A hint of cinnamon and cumin gives this simple soup its exotic aroma. Instead of adding the spinach to the pot, Chef Todd Wilczewski likes to add it to each bowl and pour the hot soup over it, just to wilt it. Note: for a slightly thicker base and to help the flavors meld, puree about a third of the soup in a blender and then return it to the soup pot.
