Recipe By :Zen Macrobiotic Cooking by Michel Abehsera

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Soups

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup chickpeas

3 tablespoons sesame oil

1 medium onion -- minced

1 celery stalk -- minced

3 1/2 cups shredded savoy cabbage -- (or 1/4-head)

2 zucchini -- 1-inch strips

1 turnip -- 1-inch strips

1 carrot -- minced

2 pounds pumpkin (1 kabocha) -- 1-inch strips

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

5 cups water -- or as needed

2 cups brown rice

3 teaspoons tamari soy sauce

 

Soak chickpeas overnight or partially cook them. Drain.

 

Heat oil in soup kettle and saute vegetables in following order: onion, celery,

cabbage, zucchini, turnip and pumpkin. Add salt.

 

Cook the kettle and add the water and chick peas. Simmer for 2 hours, covered,

stirring occasionally.

 

Add rice and simmer until rice is done; about 45 minutes.

 

Continue occasional stirring, turning the soup up from the bottom. This makes a

very thick soup that has a tendency to stick. Add a little hot water from time

to time, if necessary.

 

When soup is done, add tamari.

 

EDITOR'S note - Looks like this would make 13 to 15 cups (almost 4 quarts).
