Protein

[LoreD]

I was looking at a recipe that I had saved for North African Chickpea and Lentil soup. It had 3 cans (6 cups) beans, 5 cups vegetables, broth, and about 10 spices.

The beginning paragraph said that the soup could be topped with a hard boiled egg "to add protein to the meal". ?????

This concept you can't get protein anywhere but meat is really weird.

The recipe makes a lot of soup. 12 cups of broth is for a large family, a dinner party, or somebody with a large freezer. I cut the recipe in half, and still got a lot of soup. It was really good, and is on my make again list. I didn't have any zucchini, so I threw frozen spinach in at the end.

This was the first time using Ras el Hanout. I bought some a while ago, and never got around to using it. That stuff is really good.

I keep reading about that lately. I should buy some.

That soup looks nice and filling, more like a thick stew.

I googled it and there is a recipe out there so that you could make your own if you don't wish to buy a whole ton of it.

I love all of those ingredients.
