yummy spicy vegetable soup! Perfert for phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. This recipe is from a friend. Ingredients:
2 red onions, sliced finely |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon harissa (use (to taste) |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans canned chick-peas, drained |
14 1/2 ounces canned diced tomatoes |
handful arugula leaf |
handful baby spinach leaves |
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat some olive oil and a knob of butter in a saucepan over a low heat and once the butter has melted add the onions and garlic- stir and then gently sautee for a good 20 minutes or until the onions have softened and become golden.
2. Stir in harissa and cook for a further 5 minutes.
3. Add the tomatos and continue to simmer on a low heat for a further 10 minutes to allow the flavor to intensify.
4. Stir in chickpeas and enough water or vegetable stock to cover the mixture. Simmer for 15 minutes- the chickpeas are already cooked so all you are doing is getting them up to temperature and absorbing the flavors.
5. Toss in a couple handfuls of arugula and baby spinach leaves- stir and then taste, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
6. The soup is now ready to serve.
