Step 1

Step 1. In a large pot over medium heat, saute onion in olive oil for 5 minutes. Add celery, garlic, ginger, black pepper, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir for 1 minute. Sauteing the spices allows them to bloom and deepen in flavor. Step 2. Add broth, tomatoes, cinnamon, saffron, salt, lentils, half of the cilantro and half of the parsley. Bring to a simmer, cover with a vented lip and cook for 30 minutes. Add chickpeas and pasta, cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is cooked. Add honey and remaining cilantro and parsley. Serve with desired toppings.
