Thank you so much for posting this recipe. My 11 year old daughter and I made this soup tonight, and we absolutley loved it. We are putting this recipe in our book of recipes, and will be making it again in the future. I did leave out the tahini, only because I was unable to find it at my local grocery store. Wonderful! Thank you!

Blake, since I used canned chick peas, I’m not sure what the advantages would be. Well, I’ve never used a slow cooker so what do I know.

However, I’m sure an adaptation could be made. I think the essential things are (1) don’t bring the soup to a boil after you have added the tahini and (2) the spices need to be fried in oil so that their fragrances get released.

If you decide to try it, please leave a comment telling how your experimentation turned out!

do you think this recipe could be done in a slow cooker/crock pot?

this was great! thanks so much for the recipe. my partner is feeling a bit ill (probably allergies this time of year) and I wanted to make a nourishing soup – this was definitely it. I added several carrots with the potatoes (using 2 large potatoes), and after the soup had come together, took my potato masher and mashed the solids just a bit. I’ll make this again, to be sure!

I just made this recipe for dinner last night, and my word was it delicious! The tahini as thickener worked wonderfully and added yet another intriguing flavour to the mix.

My partner has asked when I’m making this again a few times already. Thank you :)

Monica, bookmarked your recipe!

Isobel, good idea trying a similar soup with sweet potatoes, we gotta try that too.

If anyone makes a tahini-thickened soup, let us know how it turned out!
