Chickpeas seem to call out for Moroccan spices, so that's what they get here. I make this soup really chunky and hearty.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
1 large onion, medium diced
6 to 8 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 heaping teaspoon sweet paprika
1 (14.5-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
3 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
1 quart vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-ounce) package pre-washed baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until the onions begin to turn translucent; lower heat if browning starts to occur. Add spices and saute a minute or so. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, broth, and sugar. Season with a couple pinches of salt and 10 grinds fresh pepper. Stir well. Chickpeas should be just covered with liquid. If level is shy, add some water so the chickpeas are just covered.
  • Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to low and gently simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Remove soup from heat. Use a potato masher to mash up some of the chickpeas right in the pot. Stir in the spinach and let heat through until wilted, just a couple minutes.
  • Season again, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Serve soup, drizzled lightly with extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.

I found this recipe today at Whole Foods and thought it sounded intriguing. I made one change subbing 1 large onion for 2 leeks. I usually make pea soup with ham but this sounds delicious!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups split peas
3 quarts water or 3 quarts chicken broth
4 medium carrots, diced
3 celery ribs, diced
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine peas and water in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients and simmer 2-3 hours or until peas are soft and the soup thickens.

Tips:

  • To save time, consider using pre-split peas. They cook more quickly than whole peas and do not require soaking.
  • If you don't have saffron, you can substitute a pinch of turmeric for color.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
  • If you like a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped chili pepper.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, and a sprinkling of fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Moroccan-style split pea soup is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try!
