Oooh, where did the hot weather go? Where?
Never fear. A spicy, tangy, exotic soup will fill you with warmth, sunshine and sparkles, you mark my words.
Fast, fresh, simple and packed with vitamin A and beta-carotene, this soup will also have you seeing like a Moroccan bunny all night long.
For 4-6 large, piping hot bowls:
- 2 tbsp EVOO / coconut oil

MMMMMMMMMM,…I love this well-filled & great tasty soup! It is more like a meal!
It sure is! It’s super filling. 🙂
Gorgeous soup! Love the flavors in there.
The spices balance out with the cayenne kick and the lemon tang just perfectly. 🙂
YUM! My post today is a creamy veggie soup too, but yours looks much prettier! LOVE sweet potatoes.
Oh they are just the BEST, aren’t they? I love them roasted in salads too, NOM.
love the colors of this one!
hehe, super bright and inviting! 🙂
I love a good, creamy soup, especially when it’s filled with root vegetables and my main squeeze, the chickpea (sorry, I had to do it, in the spirit of MoFo). I just got pretty cold here today, so some of this soup sounds so nice right now!
hehe, your chickpea man makes everything better!
I think this will be something to make tomorrow. It will be cold in Dallas tomorrow!
This will definitely warm you up! I’d love to know how you liked it. 🙂
What an amazing colour! Warming for the eyes and the tummy 🙂
haha, exactly! And the soul. 🙂
Girl, I’m totally making this! I need a little of this in my life right now, gotta get a metric conversion going on! 🙂
haha, get on it!
So good! I love how simple and yet how amazing your recipes are:) This is our second soup (loved the Cashew Mushroom soup too) in a row. Thanks for making our weekday dinners so great!
