Ingredients for Moroccan Chicken Soup with Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes

Steps to make Moroccan Chicken Soup with Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes

  1. 1

    Cook onions and garlic

    3min

    In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Add 1 cup chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add spices

    1min

    Stir in 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add broth and chicken

    20min

    Add 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth and 2 pounds bone-in chicken breasts. Cover, increase the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Once at a simmer, uncover and cook, turning the chicken occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part without touching the bone reads 165 ℉, 20 to 22 minutes. Skim any foam from the surface while the chicken cooks.

  4. 4

    Shredd chicken

    3min

    Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. Once cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and shred it using two forks.

  5. 5

    Add vegetables

    10min

    Add 3 cups diced sweet potatoes, 2 cups diced bell peppers and 2 cups green beans and return to a simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add chicken, salt and pepper

    3min

    Stir in the shredded chicken, chickpeas, 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Add harissa

    1min

    Remove from the heat and stir in harissa to taste.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the soup among serving bowls and serve hot.
