Tomato Vermicelli Soup (Moroccan)

 

Recipe By :Kitty Morse

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Soups

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 medium onion

4 each whole cloves

6 cups vegetable broth

2 pounds butternut squash -- peeled and cut into chunks

4 stalks celery -- coarsely chopped

5 medium tomatoes -- quartered

12 sprigs cilantro -- tied with string

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 cup broken up angel hair pasta

1 cup lowfat 1% milk -- may double amount

Salt -- to taste

freshly-ground pepper -- to taste

1 lemon cut into wedges -- for serving

 

Stud the onion with the cloves. In a large saucepan or soup pot, combine the

broth, squash, celery, tomatoes, cilantro, and turmeric. Cover and bring to a

boil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until vegetables are tender, 30 to 40

minutes.

 

Drain, reserving broth in a bowl. Discard the onion, cloves, and cilantro. In a

blender, process the vegetables in increments, adding the reserved broth a

little at a time to obtain a smooth, thick puree. Return the soup to the pan.

Bring to a simmer. Break up the pasta into 1-inch pieces and add to the soup.

Simmer until pasta is cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1 cup milk or more for a

thinner soup, and heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

NOTES : From The Vegetarian Table: North Africa (Chronicle Books, 1996).

Lentils hold a prominent place in the Moroccan diet. This dish, a cross between

a soup and a stew, is often served for dinner en famille. Instead of yam or

sweet potato, substitute small cubes of winter squash such as butternut or

Hubbard squash. Serve this with lots of crusty bread and a green salad. Serves
