Great soup, my boyfriend really enjoyed it! Added a little bit of salt, but left the rest as is. Thanks.

Moroccan style soup that combines a lot of my favorite foods. Even though I am not afraid to venture off a recipe when I understand how the ingredients interact with each other, I dont like rating it when I switch parts because I cant find all of the required things... that being said, I subbed the potato for sweet potato (not yam) and vegetable broth for beef broth. Also pumpkin for pumpkin pack. Still turned out great!

I was just about to make this combo myself when I found your recipe- gave me the courage to proceed! I added a few more spices - ginger, allspice, paprika and I skipped the potato but added some yellow split peas. And I left out the skim milk too. Smells amazing and tastes great too!

Your recipe was base for crockpot throw together meal. Thanks for the start on a great stew like dish. I used 4 small potatoes cubes, 1 onion, 3 cups pureed fresh pumpkin, chicken bouillion and 3 cups water, pork crumbled sausage browned first,diced carrots, cumin, oregano - high 3 hrs in slowcooker then last hour added the can of chickpeas and couple cups of frozen peas. I know this is not your soup recipe but I will try it as posted but wanted to credit your ingredients.
