Hasa Al-Khadr Vegetable Soup
2 Tbs olive oil
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into small pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tbs grated fresh ginger
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes (I leave the peels on, as I enjoy the rustic flavor and texture)
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
7 cups water
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp cumin
Heat oil in a saucepan; then stir-fry carrots, onion, garlic, and ginger over medium heat for 8 minutes. Add potatoes, tomatoes, and coriander leaves and stir-fry for another 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour or until the vegetables are well-done.
