Moroccan Chickpea & Sweet Potato Soup With Zatar Pittas
This hearty vegan soup is made in 15 minutes – just long enough to toast some halved shop bought pittas, once they’ve been seasoned and sprinkled with Zatar and olive oil. It’s worth making a batch of the soup so you can have leftovers for lunch during the week or meals for the freezer.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whizz together the onion, garlic, ginger, coriander and olive oil in a blender or bullet and add to a pan on a medium heat.
Soften and colour the mix before adding the dried spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes, sweet potatoes, lemon, stock and chickpeas. Season and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Half the pittas so you that you have 2 thin disks from each pitta. Swipe the garlic clove twice on each piece of bread. Sprinkle with the Zatar and drizzle with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
Put in a hot oven or under the grill for 3-5 minutes keeping a close eye as they’ll burn quickly.
Serve the soup with fresh coriander and the pittas.
