2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
2 pounds tomatoes, diced
-
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
-
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
-
20 fresh mint leaves, chopped
-
1 teaspoon ground paprika
-
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 pinch saffron threads

4 cups water, or more to taste
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon cornstarch

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, mint, paprika, turmeric, ginger, harissa, and saffron. Add water and cook over medium heat until flavors have combined, about 30 minutes.
-
Mix a few tablespoons of soup liquid with flour and cornstarch in a small bowl and return to the soup, stirring in well. Add cherry tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer over low heat until soup thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook's Note:
If you have time, peel your tomatoes. To do this, cut an X on the bottom of each, submerge in boiling water for 25 seconds, transfer to an ice water bath, then peel gently and dice.
