Moroccan Tomato Lentil Stew Soup


I always get great feedback from friends with this soup - tis my signature dish!!! The spice amounts are for a mildish soup. Add more if you like it spicy. To save time, use 2 cups of tomato pasta sauce with the soup stock as the base (instead of the leek, tomatoes etc)

Steps


Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add leek , garlic , spices and tomato paste.
Cook gently , stirring , for 5 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer until the potatoes are cooked.

Ingredients


oil, leek, garlic cloves, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, chili flakes, tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, lentils, potatoes, chicken stock, bay leaves, salt, sugar, pepper
