I love gardening and have a big pumpkin patch. A few years ago when our harvest was very plentiful, I experimented and came up with this recipe. My family just loves this soup.
A tagine is a slow-cooking stew and this lamb stew recipe gets its Moroccan flavor from a blend of aromatic spices such as turmeric, cumin,ginger, cardamom and cinnamon.
Dried split peas and smoked sausages are combined in this slow cooker soup with carrots, potatoes, oregano and garlic powder. Allow 5 hours cooking time.
Meatballs of ground beef mixed with onion and dry cream of wheat are baked for 20 minutes, combined in a casserole with condensed cream soups and evaporated milk, and baked another 40 minutes.
Cumin and fiery serrano chile infuse this simple soup as it cooks, and a dollop of sour cream provides a refreshing foil for the spicy flavors. For less heat, seed the chile first or use a milder pepper, such as jalape?
This is a fantastic recipe even for non-lentil eaters. The honey gives it a sweet taste and it is perfect served with rice. It's great as a main dish but could be a side as well.
