Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup semolina
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 6 cups chicken stock or water
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup parsley leaves, chopped
- 1 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves, crushed
- 1 tsp dried mint, crushed
- 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
- 14 oz cooked chickpeas, no need to drain
- 8 oz rotisserie chicken, diced small (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the semolina and olive oil until the semolina is well coated. Set aside.
- In a soup pot, bring the chicken stock or water to a boil. Take a scoop of the hot liquid and mix it with the semolina-oil paste to thin it out slightly before incorporating it into the pot.
- Slowly whisk the semolina mixture into the boiling stock, ensuring no lumps form. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue whisking for about 3 minutes.
- Add in all remaining ingredients and stir until the soup starts to thicken, which should take about 5 minutes. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low for another 10 minutes.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preference.
For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable stock.
