FREEKAH SOUP ( PALESTINIAN SOUP)

Steps:

• Transfer the freekeh-onion mixture to the saucepan with the reserved broth, cover and cook 30- 40 minutes or until freekeh is well cooked. Stir in the shredded chicken and cook another 10 minutes. ( If the soup is too thick because freekeh absorbs liquid well, add more water or chicken stock. Adjust salt and spices.
• Pour the soup into bowls, sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper.
• Garnish with fresh parsley, Greek yogurt and pita chips.
• Enjoy!
