African soup with sesame and spices
4 servings
15 minutes
African soup with sesame and spices is a fragrant dish inspired by the warm flavors of the continent. Its roots trace back to North African culinary traditions where sesame and spices play a key role. The delicate texture of tahini blends with the rich aroma of coriander, cumin, and cardamom, creating a harmony of flavors. The addition of fresh vegetables, ginger, and cayenne pepper gives the soup a light spiciness and refreshing zest. An important detail is corn, which adds a slight sweetness and balances the bright notes of spices. This soup not only warms but also nourishes, perfectly pairing with bread or light sides. It is ideal for a cozy family dinner or an unusual gastronomic discovery.
