Step 1.
Pit the dates and finely chop them along with the garlic, onion and carrot
Step 2.
Add the onions and a generous amount of olive oil to a non-stick saucepan set over a low-medium heat. Cook until slightly translucent. Add the carrots and a pinch of salt, then cook for another 2 mins.
Step 3.
Add the garlic, spices and chopped dates with a splash of vegetable broth. Slowly sauté and stir this mixture for 8-10 mins until the onions and carrots are very soft.
Step 4.
Meanwhile, wash and chop the sweet potatoes. Drain the chickpeas.
Step 5.
Turn the heat to medium and add the sweet potatoes, chopped tomatoes, chickpeas, vegetable stock and giant couscous to the pan. Simmer until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the giant couscous is cooked (about 8-10 minutes)
Step 6.
Turn off the heat. Roughly chop the coriander and stir it through. Season with salt and black pepper, then squeeze the lemon straight into the pan.
Step 7.
Let the soup sit for 7-8 mins before serving.
