“This fragrant, spicy stew can also be served over couscous or with warm pita bread. Try topping it with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream to cool it down.” —Sonya Labbe, Santa Monica, California
Ingredients:
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups water
• 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 medium carrots, sliced
• 3 plum tomatoes, chopped
• 2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, saute onion in oil until tender. Add spices and salt; cook 1 minute longer.
2. Stir in the water, squash, potatoes, carrots and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes and squash are almost tender.
3. Add zucchini and garbanzo beans; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Freeze option: Prepare soup as directed, reserving potatoes for later. Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Transfer soup to a Dutch oven. Add potatoes; simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.
