Easy Moroccan Beef Vegetable Soup is simple to make and packed with flavor. Loaded with beef, vegetables, and chickpeas in a gorgeous broth.
I made Moroccan Beef Vegetable Soup Monday, since we have all had some kind of nasty head cold, and had already eaten all the typical go-to soups. We even skipped pizza Friday, and Colt brought home everyone soup from Panera, because the whole house was craving soup. We've been that kind of sick!
With everyone being sick, it was the perfect excuse to make it! With the stronger flavors, and I little bit of cayenne pepper I thought one of the kids was bound to not be fond of it, but it was devoured without a problem.
You could easily leave the beef out, and use vegetable stock for a vegan option, and it would still be amazing. The flavors of the soup really blend together well.
It's the perfect soup if your looking for something healthier, and packed with flavor to hit the spot!
