soup-er sunday

The other day I went out for dinner and ordered what turned out to be some amazing soup - Harira Soup. 

I’ve been thinking about this soup for days now and after some research I built up the kitchen confidence and tackled it. Uh, yummmm! 

Here is the harira soup recipe.

Changes I made…no meat. Added a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste and celery. Tripled the amount of cayenne powder. Added more water, 10 cups all together. And, I used boullion cubes to flavour the water. I also didn’t add that egg and lemon mixture or any type of pasta. What tasty and hearty soup!

Before tomatoes, water, lentils and chickpeas

Soup done…put it away for work but I ended up eating it. Whoops….not all of it but this bowl - I made enough soup to eat 8 or 9 times.
