Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 plain rotisserie chicken
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced 1/2-inch thick, dark green tops reserved
3 stalks celery, 2 chopped, 1 cut into large chunks
1 large carrot, peels reserved, chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, stems reserved
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons harissa
2 teaspoons ras el hanout or 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice plus 1 teaspoon ground cumin (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
One 15.5 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
4 cups baby spinach
Plain Greek yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • Remove the meat from the chicken and discard the skin. Chop the meat into large chunks. Cut the chicken carcass into 2 or 3 pieces and put in a large pot with the chicken broth, leek greens, chunked celery, carrot peels, garlic, cilantro stems and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 6 cups water to cover, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the carcass is falling apart and the broth is flavorful, 20 to 25 minutes.

Add the broth and chickpeas, cover and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the chopped chicken, cilantro leaves and the spinach.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN SOUP



Moroccan Chicken Soup image

This is from America's Test Kitchen, "The Best Simple Recipes". The contrast of textures in this is great. It's important that you use garam masala that is fresh and flavorful (or use fresh spices in any of the recipes here on Zaar to make it from scratch). Use zucchini that are less than 8 inches for best results.

Provided by Joan Nathan

Categories     Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur     Soup/Stew     Dinner     Kosher     Vegetarian     Chickpea     Lentil     Parsley     Cilantro     Carrot     Tomato

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
3 stalks celery, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 large carrots, peeled and cut in rounds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 to 1 teaspoon harissa or dried red chile flakes, plus more for serving
Salt to taste
1 bunch parsley, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups/75 grams), divided
1 bunch cilantro, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups/75 grams), divided
1 (15-ounce/425-gram) can tomatoes, crushed, or 2 cups (450 grams) tomato sauce
7 cups (1 2/3 liters) chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup (200 grams) dried chickpeas, soaked overnight and cooked or 1 (15-ounce/425-gram) can chickpeas, drained
1 cup (370 grams) green lentils
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose unbleached flour
1 large egg
Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, celery, and carrots until the onion turns translucent and begin to brown, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the turmeric, cumin, harissa or chile flakes, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup each of the parsley and cilantro, tomatoes, and the stock or water and bring to a boil. If using the soaked chickpeas, drain them and add to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, then add the lentils, another teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper and continue simmering until the chickpeas and lentils are cooked, about 20 minutes more. If using canned chickpeas omit the first 25 minutes of simmering and add with the lentils.
  • Whisk the flour, egg, and lemon juice into 2 cups (470 ml) of water. Stir into the soup. Simmer the soup about 5 minutes more and serve, sprinkled with the remaining cilantro and parsley. And don't forget to have some extra harissa in a plate on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the soup. This will help to prevent the soup from becoming too watery.
  • Add the rice to the soup about 20 minutes before it's finished cooking. This will give the rice time to absorb the flavors of the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or coriander.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Moroccan vegetable soup with chicken and rice is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The soup is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
