Morrocan beef soup:
1 potato
2carrots
2sticks celery
1zuchinni
1large onion
1beef stock cube
1jar passata
1.5litres water
1tbs cummin
1tbs turmuric
1tbs Garam masala
1tbs chilli flakes
1 jar chick peas
500 diced beef
1 tsp garlic.

in a stockpot brown onion, zuchini, carrot, celery, potato and beef until very brown.
Add turmuric, garam masala, garlic and cumin and dry fry. (add a little oil if it starts to stick)
add chilli flakes, chickpeas and stock cube. (i keep the juice from the chickpea can in the soup, it thickens it a bit) let simmer for a few minutes, then add the water and salt and pepper to taste. boil this for about five minutes then add the jar of passata and some more salt/pepper to taste. let simmer for 30-mins- 2hrs... the longer you leave it the yummier it is and the more tender the meat.

this is my absoloute FAVOURTIE soup and i could eat it all day and night and never get sick of it!! i make a couple of batched a week in winter!!! so cheap and yummy. serve with crusty fresh bread :D
