Now that the weather is turning chilly, hearty and filling
meals are on the menu. Fall is the perfect time for this super hearty and
healthy stew. This soup has a Moroccan feel and is very satisfying. I love that
it’s both vegan and gluten-free, but still full of fantastic flavor. This
soup is super packed with vitamins, minerals and protein along with very little
fat, making it an almost guilt-free pleasure.
You can enjoy this soup as a meal in itself or as hearty appetizer for your dinner. I hope you enjoy this tasty and healthy Foodgasmic soup as much as I do.
