Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup

Sun, 18 Feb 2007 14:09:54 -0500

One of the best vegetable soups I've had in ages! Extremely easy to make and very cheap (leave out the saffron if you don't already have any)! This lemony, peppery soup is traditionally enjoyed at the end of a day of fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This is a vegetarian version of the thick and aromatic soup. More like a stew. From the 2/2007 issue of Canadian House & Home. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Delicious Chicken Barley Chili

Sun, 20 May 2007 20:56:52 -0400

This is a nice hearty meal that goes together very quickly. You can see how easy this recipe is to adjust for your familys spicy tolerance. None of these ingredients are ever really "optional" here. I tend to add more garlic and some cayenne if there aren't any kids eating. You can use the seasoned varieties of the beans, tomatoes, or anything else. I love Rotel. I serve with some warmed pitas or tortillas. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Three-Bean Lentil Soup

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 21:04:17 -0400

An easy, hearty soup made from items found in the pantry. It can be made in the crock pot also by combining all of the ingredients, except for the oil, and cooking on low for 8 hours but I like it better made on top of the stove. Sauteing the onions and garlic gives the soup a whole different flavour which doesn't come across in the crock pot version. -- posted by Irmgard

This recipe comes courtesy of my MIL, Linda. I have not made this recipe yet, but think I will make it over the Thanksgiving holiday. My DH requested that I get this recipe from her and swears it is outstanding! 11-25-07 UPDATE: Made this the night before Thanksgiving for a quick and easy meal and it was great! Had a couple of issues with the chorizo sausage I bought because it turned out to not be in a casing, but other then that it was great. Would definitely make this again. -- posted by FCR Gal

Djemma El Fna Harira Soup

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 19:45:14 -0500

I just came back from Marrakesh and had to recreate the Harira I had in the Djemma El Fna market. I read about 20 recipes and used what I thought was the best of all of them, then used my tastebud memories for the rest. This is an extremely flexible recipe, and should be adjusted to suit your tastes. Don't be daunted, it is exceptionally easy! Harira is the soup that is traditionally used to break the fast each day during Ramadan. Note: the spice mix "ras el hanout" is a special blend of 15 - 35 spices created by each spice merchant to his own tastes. It is available to buy through various websites, or you might search the various ingredients and try making your own (I brought some home). -- posted by AngiC

Healthy Winter Vegetable Soup

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:14:47 -0500

A nice, big soup which serves as a perfect winter comforter. This is an adaptation of an age old family recipe. My family are Italian and this is adapted from a typical "rustic" country dish. I have adapted it to better suit ingredients found in England and North America as these are the ingredients I can most easily get hold of whilst I am at university. It is easy to prepare and definitely a crowd pleaser, I've served it to everyone from friends at uni to friends' parents after a hard day at work. My seven year old twin cousins also enjoyed it, so I think it's an all-rounder. PS: Can be adapted and other vegetables can be added. Other variations I have made have included broccoli, purple broccoli and spinach. -- posted by girl-razor

Shrek Soup

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:22:58 -0500

I made up this soup and named it after Shrek because it's chunky, has lots of green and is a little sweet and spicy! Please try to use the fire-roasted tomatoes and fresh spinach, they give such great flavor. They carry the Muir Glen brand at Whole Foods and Wal-Mart Supercenter. I hope you enjoy it! -- posted by Chef*Lee

Pat's Low-Fat White Chili

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:13:30 -0500

This is a great cold weather dinner. The basic recipe came from a South Beach Diet cookbook. Suggestions: Dress it up with all kinds of goodies like fat-free or low fat shredded cheese, fat free sour cream, salsa, cilantro, green chilies, jalapenos or tortilla strips. None of these really add any fat or calories to speak of. Tortilla strips are usually made by frying strips of flour tortillas for about 30 seconds in oil. I discovered that you can get a close second by spraying a cookie sheet with Pam, laying out strips of whole wheat tortillas, and spraying them again with Pam. Bake at 350 until lightly browned and crisp. Why whole wheat tortillas? They have a comparable calorie count to flour but the whole wheat takes longer to digest which lowers the calories stored as fat and adds additional fiber to your diet. Ive messed with this recipe a LOT. You can play with the ingredients to get a lot more soup. For example, Ive added the following, none of which really ups the calories enough to even mention; o More chicken broth o more salsa o Fresh lime juice o Roasted red peppers Let this be dinner along with a salad, sliced orange with chili powder and salt sprinkled on it, and baked whole wheat tortilla covered with melted fat free or low fat cheese and jalapenos or green chilies. -- posted by Chef #774395

Spicy Spinach and Chickpea Curry Soup With Couscous

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:08:34 -0500

I created this recipe as a healthy, low fat meal for my vegetarian husband and I. Not only does the spinach and chickpeas provide vital vitamins and minerals, the chickpeas are good source of veggie protein. Serving this over a bed of couscous makes this a complete Moroccan dish. You can substitute the pre-packaged couscous if you like, though I prefer to buy it in the bulk containers and measure out the amount I want to use. This would be delicious with a dollop of light plain yogurt on top to temper the spice. Enjoy! -- posted by Southern Bette

This can also be made in the crock pot by cooking on high for 3 to 4 hours. Just make sure you saute the vegetables first as this will affect the flavour of the final product. -- posted by Irmgard

Delicious and light tomato-based soup. A dollop of fresh hummus on top tastes unbelievable ! *Note: Depending on how brothy you like your soup, you can just adjust the amount of liquid.

A very dear friend sent me a wonderful cookbook for the Holidays apply named, "Farmer's Market Cookbook" .This book has wonderful recipes within it's covers and since it is seasonal cookbook; it brings all the farm fresh vegetables to good use. I have poured myself into this book and want to share this adaption of one of the many recipes I have had the pleasure to prepare. This recipe bodes Springtime, as it brings this easy delicious version of this soup right to the table and quickly too. Could be a quick lunchtime respite or on a cool weekend evening when you are to tired to put another pot on the stove. All ingredients are probably right in your cupboard, except; you probably wouldn't have an avocado sitting in your cupboard or cabinet even. But maybe sitting over there on your window sill there is one waiting to be used. Relax! Take a break, take a breather, let life pass you by and enjoy the moment.

Makhlouta 1 - Vegetarian Hearty Lebanese Lentil & Bean Soup

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:16:45 -0400

Makhlouta is a delicious filling soup which has been made traditionally in Lebanon for hundreds of years - usually it has 7 main pulse/grain ingredients. This is the pressure cooker method but you can do it the traditional way using a large pot & simmer the soup until the lentils, beans & chick peas are tender. Feel free to add some stock / bouillion cubes to this soup along with any additional spices you might like. I have added chicken to this on occasion too.

Quick Veggie Chili Con Queso

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:20:53 -0500

Continuing my quest to use what I already have instead of going to the store, I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens 1993 Best Recipes Yearbook. Abigail Kurtz Mahoney won $200 for her recipe. This is super simple and quick. I used 7 ounces instead of 4 ounces of green chilies, and I probably threw in about 1 cup of cilantro into the soup because I love the flavor. I also had 2 cups of onions but no zucchinis (rats). I tossed in 8 ounces of sour cream instead of serving it with individual bowls, and I skipped the cheese completely (not that I'm lacking in dairy here). The beans were very meaty, and next time I'll throw in some cayenne pepper or some hot peppers for more heat. I like how chunky everything is...a perfect recipe for a cold winter day. -- posted by AmyZoe

Spanish Chickpea Soup

Tue, 05 May 2009 13:53:28 -0400

This recipe was found in The Vegetarian Passport Cookbook. In Spain, this soup is only made when the chickpeas are in season and fresh. The rest of us, unless we know of a place to get fresh chickpeas, will have to use dried or canned. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Pasta Bean Soup

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:28:51 -0400

This is a recipe from a Better Homes & Garden cookbook I dredged up recently. I modified just a little and was inspired to post the recipe as it won over my picky five-year old. The soup is nutritious, super easy to make and, with prep time included, can be made in about 20 minutes. -- posted by newbie chef H

Moroccan Chicken Soup With Apricot Couscous

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:51:04 -0400

From what I understand, this Moroccan-Style soup reflects many of the bold spices in North Africa, such as coriander, cumin, cinnamon and cardamon. Here we made Apricot Couscous, to serve on top. The numbers are not low but you are getting a whole and very filling meal! The couscous also makes a nice side dish for chicken, fish or lamb. Make the couscous while making the soup.

Italian Vegetable Soup

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:23:30 -0400

This is a great way to use up fresh garden zucchini if you've eaten enough of it fresh and need to mix it up a bit. I found this recipe from Taste of Home 30 Minute Cookbook, and I love it because a delicious lunch or dinner is done quickly. I used a spicy Italian sausage (which I think gives way more flavor) beef bouillion and red onion, but feel free to vary according to your palate. Recipe courtesy of Janet Frieman, Kenosha, Wisconsin. -- posted by AmyZoe

A vegetarian version of an African favorite. If you want to make it non-vegetarian, chunks of lamb or beef can be added. Just brown them with the onions. -- posted by mikekey

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:23:23 -0400

There are many versions of this Libyan classic, this recipe is the basic recipe, to which other bits & pieces may be added depending on the region & household. Although lamb is traditionally used here, you may also substitute beef or chicken. Shorba is an essential dish during Ramadan as well as throughout the rest of the year. -- posted by Um Safia

Moroccan Chickpea Soup

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:42:07 -0400

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. -- posted by Epi Curious

Sopa De Garbanzos - Chickpea Soup

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:21:18 -0400

When my mom and I were cleaning out one of her kitchen cabinets, we found a box of recipes that she had clipped from newspapers and magazines. This one came from an article in the Houston Post (no longer in circulation), October 1989. The article was about traditional Mexican soup dishes and contained several wonderful and authentic recipes. This filling soup can be made vegetarian by using vegetable stock and omitting the bacon. -- posted by loof

Smoky Sausage and Kale Soup

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:07:30 -0500

The greatest thing about this soup is that it comes together in about 20 minutes. You dont have to kill a whole day waiting for stock to boil or vegetables to become tender. Plus, its full of vitamins but not much fat; a healthy choice for a cozy winter meal. -- posted by Diet It Up

Creamy Bean, Herb, & Spinach Soup

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:30:50 -0500

A little bit of change to a recipe from Bon Appetit. I also liked it made into a little more of a chili - style w/a can of diced tomatoes & chiles. Regardless, I think I'll try it with a bit of meat added in next time, too. Maybe ham if I leave it a true bean soup, or chicken/turkey for a chili-style soup. -- posted by This Mom Still Cooks

Slow Cooker Garbanzo Bean and Potato Soup With Pesto

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:47:04 -0500

For extra nutrition, leave potatoes unpeeled. To boost nutritional value further, add 2 cups chopped kale (chard, baby spinach, baby beet greens, etc.) to the slow cooker *just*before serving -about ten-fifteen minutes. Kidney beans can replace garbanzo beans if you prefer and for additional color. A sun-dried tomato pesto would be an interesting change in place of traditional pesto.
