HASA AL HUMMUS -- MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SOUP



Hasa Al Hummus -- Moroccan Chickpea Soup image

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.

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dried garbanzo beans, soaked overnight
8 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, peeled and diced (optional)
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 small hot pepper, chopped finely
1/2 cup fresh coriander, leaf chopped finely
1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped finely
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

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.

HUMMUS SOUP



Hummus Soup image

This is a vegetarian soup I was messing about with a few month back. It is pretty healthy and pretty flavorful. A lot of vitamins are packed into this thick creamy soup.

Provided by Maggie May Schill

Categories     Cream Soups

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Tbsp peanut oil
1 c hummus, plain
1 c fresh portabello mushrooms, chopped
2 medium shallots, minced
2 sprig(s) thyme, fresh
1 medium bay leaf
6 c vegetable broth
4 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp lemon zest, grated
1/2 c greek yogurt, plain
2 medium green onions
1/4 c rice wine
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 Tbsp parsley, fresh chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a dutch oven or large sauce pan up over medium heat. Add peanut oil and bring it up to temperature. Add in shallots and cook until translucent...about 3-4 minutes.
  • 2. Add mushrooms to the pot. Salt and pepper the mushrooms and stir occasionally for about 10-15 minutes, or until their liquids start to yield out.
  • 3. Add garlic and stir. Cook for about a minute or so more, then add your rice wine. Deglaze the pan with the rice wine.
  • 4. Add in broth, along with the thyme, bay leaf and turmeric. Stir then cover pot for a half-hour.
  • 5. Pull out thyme sprigs and bay leaf and discard them. Stir in hummus. Cook for about 2 minutes longer.
  • 6. Stir in yogurt, lemon zest, parsley and green onions. Salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. Side note: I sometimes like to serve this soup as a puree, but it is up to your preference if you like it chunky or not.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned chickpeas. If you use dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Cook the chickpeas until they are very soft: The chickpeas should be so soft that they easily fall apart when you press them between your fingers.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the soup: This will give the soup a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the soup hot or cold: Hummus soup can be served hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Hummus soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious hummus soup that your whole family will love.
