This is my second recipe in collaboration with Kenwood, who have challenged me to get creative in the kitchen using the Kenwood Chef, a must-have for all you foodies.
Today’s recipe is all about being inspired by African flavours, which I absolutely love.
I made a deliciously spiced soup/Stew flavoured with aromatic spices like cumin, ginger, and cinnamon, it’s perfectly warming for this time of year.
This is my version of a Moroccan Harira Soup, which is a tasty mix of beautifully spiced pulses and grains.
It’s really delicious and super healthy as it contains lots of vegetables, lentils, rice, and chickpeas – lots of healthy plant-based proteins.
I love using the Kenwood Chef. It takes me on new culinary adventures with its selection of over 25 attachments; pasta rollers and cutters, juicers, food processor attachment, blender, and ice cream maker. Its mini chopper is super-convenient to create flavoursome pastes as the base for curries, soups, and stews.
And, that’s what I used here to create a flavoursome paste as the base of my soup, a mix of spices and garlic with a big handful of aromatic coriander.
This soup is the one pot complete meal I love. It’s so easy to make and tastes delicious.
I hope you love it too, Niki xx

Has anyone skipped the tomatoes here? I’m really don’t care for them especially when cooked in chunks like this. Any ideas? Perhaps just as a few? I can’t really see them in the picture. Are they essential for flavor?

Hi Katrina
The soup works without tomatoes as well
