HASA AL HUMMUS -- MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SOUP
Hasa Al Hummus is a wonderful Moroccan vegetarian soup for a comforting winter warmer. Morocco adores her soups though there are not a million varieties. Many recipes online may taste good though are faux or Moroccan "style" soups. I can guarantee that from me what you get is completely authentic Moroccan fare. I owe this to those interested in Moroccan food/cooking that is authentic. This is a very simple basic soup as most Moroccan foods are. Go to a touristy, especially a fancy one, spot and you will get French food with Moroccan influences; not how we eat every day. We eat Moroccan food perhaps with a French influence or two though never vice versa. My housemaid Nasiha who is approximately 60 taught me this recipe. I say approximately as many in Morocco do not know their birthday. Whip this up like we do and enjoy! In a pinch you can use canned chickpeas. They are acceptable, merely omit the first cooking hour. As an aside, here, hummus is the word for chickpea, not the dip/spread.

Steps:
- In a soup pot combine the chickpeas and water and bring to a rolling boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 hour.
- While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onions, garlic, and hot pepper (we use a small straight pickled hot pepper from a jar) until they barely take on color; very slightly browned.
- Add the mixture and the remainder of the ingredients to the soup pot and simmer 1 hour or until the chickpeas are soft. You don't want a "bite" to the chickpeas but firm and creamy.
- NB: The preparation time does not include soaking the chickpeas.

Steps:
- 1. Heat a dutch oven or large sauce pan up over medium heat. Add peanut oil and bring it up to temperature. Add in shallots and cook until translucent...about 3-4 minutes.
- 2. Add mushrooms to the pot. Salt and pepper the mushrooms and stir occasionally for about 10-15 minutes, or until their liquids start to yield out.
- 3. Add garlic and stir. Cook for about a minute or so more, then add your rice wine. Deglaze the pan with the rice wine.
- 4. Add in broth, along with the thyme, bay leaf and turmeric. Stir then cover pot for a half-hour.
- 5. Pull out thyme sprigs and bay leaf and discard them. Stir in hummus. Cook for about 2 minutes longer.
- 6. Stir in yogurt, lemon zest, parsley and green onions. Salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. Side note: I sometimes like to serve this soup as a puree, but it is up to your preference if you like it chunky or not.
Tips:
- Choose the right chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are best for this soup, as they have a more robust flavor and texture than canned chickpeas. If using dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor. Be sure to roast them until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
- Use a good quality tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus soup, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
- Season the soup to taste: Hummus soup should be flavorful and well-seasoned. Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Hummus soup can be served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, pita chips, chopped herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Hummus soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's a great way to use up leftover chickpeas, and it's also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, hummus soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
