Ingredients

3 tbsp Olive oil
2 medium Onion
4 cloves Garlic
2 cups Tomatoes
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Msemen dough
4 cups Vegetable broth

Method

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until translucent, 5–7 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down.
Add msemen dough, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is fully incorporated and the soup is thickened.
Add vegetable broth, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or let it cool and puree it in a blender, then return it to the pot.
Add more broth or water if the soup is too thick, and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
For a more intense flavor, let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To make it more romantic, serve with a side of crusty bread or a salad, and a glass of wine or champagne, if desired.
