Since everyone is sick, including me, enjoy this soup recipe below:🍲✨ For this chickpea dumpling stew, you will need the following ingredients: 1 lb. ground chicken or dark meat turkey or beef 4 chicken legs 6 oz. chickpea flour 1 yellow onion grated 1 yellow onion peeled and quartered 1⁄4 cup flavorless oil like canola, avocado, or sunflower seed 1 tbsp matzo meal panko, or breadcrumbs 16 oz. canned chickpeas rinsed (optional: peeled) 2 bay leaves 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin 1⁄2 tsp turmeric 1 tsp Cumin seed Salt and pepper Optional: fresh herbs for garnish Bring 6 cups of water and the chicken legs to boil. As foam builds, skim the top with a slotted spoon. Foam doesn't always build, but remove it if it does. Immediately lower the broth to a simmer. If you boil it on high boil, the chicken with get tough. Add the cumin seed, 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric, bay leaves, and quartered onion. Let the chicken simmer ~20 minutes. After 20 minutes discard the bay leaves, quartered onion. Mix the ground poultry, grated onion, 1⁄2 cup water, 1⁄4 cup oil, matzo meal, ground cumin, 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric, salt, pepper, and chickpea powder. Mix thoroughly without over-mixing. The mixture should be soft and elastic. When the chicken broth is ready, remove the chicken from the pot. That way, there is plenty of room for the dumplings to cook. You will add the chicken legs back to the broth later. Bring the water back to a rolling boil. Make golf ball size balls from the ground poultry mixture. Add to the boiling broth. At this point, you can freeze the dumplings on the baking sheet, and when frozen, transfer to a sealable container. Keeps in the freezer for up to 3 months. Add the chickpeas to the broth. Bring to boil. Now, add the chicken legs back to the pot. Lower to a simmer and simmer 30-40 minutes. Enjoy as a chickpea stew, served with basmati rice or as a chickpea soup without the rice. I sometimes garnish with fresh herbs to add a pop of color since it's a bland-looking dish, despite all the packed flavor.
