Moroccon Chicken Soup
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 2 chicken breast
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 Teaspoon cumin
- 1 Teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 Teaspoon tumeric
- 1/2 Teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 Can tomato
- 4 Cup hot water
- 4 Teaspoon chicken stock
- 2 Can chickpeas
- 1 Teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 -1 Teaspoon salt
- 3 - 4 Tablespoon parsley
- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Peel and chop onion and carrot.
- Add chicken breasts and brown both sides.
- Add chopped onion and carrot, cook till onion is transparent.
- Add cumin, coriander, tumeric, chilli flakes, cinnamon, canned tomatoes, hot water and chicken stock powder (or use liquid stock to amount of water in place of water and stock powder).
- Cook gently for 20 minutes (or chicken pretty much cooked). Then add chickpeas rinsed in water, paprika and juice of half a lemon. Salt to taste. Heat gently for 5 minutes, not too long or chickpeas will go too mushy and not firm.
- Serve in bowls with broken up hunks of chicken breast and soup liquid over top and garnish with parsley. Additionally you can have pre-cooked cous cous at the bottom of the bowl too.
A crusty loaf or warmed flat breads make ideal accompaniments and a teaspoon or so of low-fat yoghurt plus the reserved chopped coriander make a tasty and attractive finishing touch.
tried in the slow cooker, was alright. I browned the chicken, carrots and onion as above
