How to Make Andalusian Condiment Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the cumin, paprika, saffron threads, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to combine.
  5. Add the chopped leftover chicken or vegetables. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in the chopped parsley and cilantro just before serving. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of extra parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
