1 medium stalk of ginger (chopped or grated)

280g cooked chickpeas

1 cup lentils

Parsley, saffron, cumin, chili, salt

How to prepare:

Chop the onion and sauté the minced meat with it and olive oil.

Then add the tomatoes (they can be canned peeled) and add 1.5 liters of water.

When it starts to boil, you can add the other ingredients, such as ginger, lentils and previously cooked chickpeas.

If you cook your own chickpeas, you should soak them for a few hours.

If you want, you can speed up the process by cooking them in a pressure cooker.

Cook for about 20 minutes and use the cooking water for the soup.

At the end, check to see if you need to add more water and if the salt and other spices are okay. It’s really meant to be full-flavored, but not salty.
