  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2               cups  dried chickpeas -- soaked overnight in water to cover
     1/4           cup  extra-virgin olive oil
  1              large  onion -- finely chopped
  3               ribs  celery -- coarsely chopped
  3             medium  carrots -- coarsely chopped
  14 1/2        ounces  canned chopped tomatoes with juice
  6               cups  chik'n broth
                        salt
                        freshly ground black pepper
                        To serve: -- couscous
                        To garnish: -- harissa (optional)
 
 
Rinse the soaked bans and transfer to the insert of a 4 to 6-quart slow
cooker.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and saute the
onion, celery, and carrots for 3 minutes, or until the onion begins to
soften. Add the tomatoes, and transfer the mixture to the insert of the
slow cooker. Stir in the broth, cover, and cook on high for 4 hours, or on
low for 8 hours. At the end of the cooking time, season the soup with salt
and pepper.
To serve the soup, spoon some of the couscous into a soup bowl, and ladle
the soup generously over the couscous. Garnish with harissa, if desired.
 
Serves 6 to 8
 
AuthorNote: La Table de Fes in Paris is a tiny restaurant serving some of
the best Moroccan food I've had outside of Marrakech. Madame directs the
dining room, while from the kitchen Monsieur serves up heaping bowls of
couscous and this savory soup ladled on top before the main courses
arrive. My son-in-law Eric's goal is to speak French so he can tell Madame
how much he loves to eat there! This is a terrific warm-up on a cold
night, filling your tummy with Moroccan goodness. I prefer to serve this
with tractional couscous rather than Israeli, which is delicious it in its
own right, but not authentic for this dish.

Slow Cooker Savvy: Harissa is a North African hot sauce, which is the
pride of Moroccan households. Each harissa is a bit different. At La Table
Fes, Madame places a bit in the ladle, then scoops up some of the soup, so
the heat will spread throughout your bowl. Be forewarned, a little harissa
goes a long way. You can find it at Middle Eastern grocers, full-service
grocers, or gourmet retailers.
