MOROCCAN LENTIL AND CHICKPEA SOUP
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.

Steps:
- In large heavy saucepan or dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in onion and celery and cook, covered, for 7-10 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add cinnamon, turmeric, salt, pepper, ginger, hot pepper sauce and saffron. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas and broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 40 minutes or until lentils are tender.
- Stir in noodles and simmer, covered, about 7 minutes longer or until noddles are just tender. In bowl, whisk flour, and 1 cup water until smooth. Whisk flour mixture into soup and simmer, stirring often, for 2-4 minutes or until soup is thickened and no raw flour taste remains.
- Stir in half of the parsley and cilantro, and all of the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding up to 1/2 tsp more salt if needed. Garnish with remaining parsley and cilantro.
MOROCCAN LAMB, LENTIL, AND CHICKPEA SOUP
I made this for my make-ahead cooking group "The Make-Ahead Mamas'" holiday soup swap. The wonderful traditional Moroccan cinnamon-spice combination is lovely with the ground lamb and sweet potatoes, and the chopped apricots or cranberries add a surprising tart sweetness with every few bites. Whenever I make this recipe, I make a double (or triple!) batch and freeze a few portions.

MOROCCAN SPICED CHICKPEA AND LENTIL SOUP
Nabbed this from a Whole Foods recipe. Very good especially with the chamoula (separate recipe). This is very chunky, if you want a thin soup add more veggie broth, if you want a thicker soup take some of the chickpeas and lentils and puree them in a blender, then add them back into the soup.

Steps:
- Preheat a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and add the onion and celery once the oil starts to shimmer. Cook and stir frequently for about 7-8 minutes. The veggies should just start to brown at this point. (It's nice to sip on a drink during this step.) 3 Bring the heat down to medium and add the garlic and ginger. Cook and stir for about 1 minute or until fragrant. 4 Push the veggies to the perimeter of the pot and add the spice mix to the center. Bloom the spices by mixing over the heat for about 1 minute, then mix the spices into the veggies. 5 Add the cilantro and parsley. Stir and cook for about 1 minute. 6 Add the broth, water, chickpeas, and lentils. Increase the heat to high and stir to combine. Once the mixture starts to simmer, drop the heat to medium low. Partially cover the pot and cook for about 20 minutes until the lentils become tender. 7 Add the tomatoes and orzo. Increase the heat to high again and stir to combine. Once the soup simmers, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, partially covered, for 7 minutes. 8 Mix in the chard and cook partially covered for about 5 more minutes. 9 Transfer the pot away from the heat and add lemon juice, cilantro, and parsley (save a few pinches of herbs to garnish individual bowls). Season with salt and pepper. 10 Top each bowl with some herbs and serve with a lemon wedge on the side. Garnish with harissa if available.
