Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 4)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 1/2 pound)

3/4 cup tomato puree
1 quart water
2 cups canned low sodium chicken broth or 2 cups homemade stock

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The flavors are comforting and the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. I love serving this soup with a side of crusty bread.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit too oily. I would recommend skimming off some of the fat before serving.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them in the soup for about 15 minutes, until they were cooked through. I also added a bit more cumin and paprika, to taste. My family loved it!

This soup was a delightful blend of Moroccan flavors and spices. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the couscous cooked perfectly. I especially enjoyed the addition of the chickpeas and vegetables, which added a nice texture and flavor contrast.
