This soup is a signature dish in my mom’s kitchen. I remember coming home from school on wintery days and finding that this soup was our lunch/dinner. I was always so delighted. My mom made this soup the traditional Moroccan way which includes either beef chunks or turkey necks. And although the soup is really rich enough on its own, we used to have it with some crusty bread to dip and absorb the heavenly sauce. At other times, my mom would serve it on a bed of couscous and a Moroccan spicy tomato garlic salad on the side. This soup, though is vegetarian, healthy, and very filling and satisfying. You are welcome to try the meat version as well, of course. We love to enjoy it with sourdough bread.
1 and 1/2 cups Gefen Northern Beans or navy beans, soaked in water overnight, then washed and drained
2 to 3 tablespoons Tuscanini Olive Oil
1 big onion, chopped
8 cloves fresh garlic, chopped or 8 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1 big juicy tomato, peeled and chopped
1 big handful of fresh cilantro (checked or bug-free), chopped
2 tablespoons Tuscanini Tomato Paste
1 red dry chili pepper (optional)
2 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin powder, such as Pereg Cumin
1 tablespoon red paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
10 leaves of Swiss chard, or chopped kale, washed very well and roughly chopped
Heat the oil in a deep pot (I use a pressure cooker) and start sautéing the onions. After a few minutes, add the garlic, mix, and then add the tomato and spices.
Add 10 cups of water (depending on the size of your pot), the drained beans, and the cilantro, and bring to a boil.
Mix every 20 minutes or so until soft. Taste for salt and pepper and then add the chopped Swiss chard leaves. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes.
