40 minutes

Harissa paste has serious kick but, once stirred into the soup, its fieriness is tamed. Feel free to add less or more paste depending on your tolerance. Freeze any extra harissa in an ice cube tray and use cubes as needed.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium red peppers
    1 tsp (5 mL) harissa paste
    2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
    1 1/2 cups (375 mL) onion, finely chopped
    1/2 cup (125 mL) celery, finely chopped
    2 tbsp (30 mL) garlic, finely chopped
    1/2 tsp (2 mL) cumin seeds
    2 tsp (10 mL) smoked paprika
    4 cups (1 L) vegetable or chicken stock
    1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh thyme, finely chopped
    1 can (540 mL) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    2 cups (500 mL) peeled and finely diced
    sweet potato
    3 tbsp (45 mL) tahini paste
    Plain kefir or yogurt to drizzle for garnish
    (optional)

Preparation

  • 1 On a hot grill or under a broiler, roast
    peppers until charred on all sides. Let cool,

    3 Add stock to the pot along with thyme,
    chickpeas, sweet potato and tahini paste.
    4 Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over
    low heat for 25 minutes.
