10/20/2003 Moroccan Potato Bean Soup

Hello!

The Diversity Committe is pleased to bring you a new and tasty issue of: Recipe of the Week! Each week we will be providing you with an opportunity to try new and exciting dishes from around the world! This week's recipe is a hearty soup dish that would make a great vegetarian (vegan if you substitute the chicken bouillon with vegetable boullion, the milk with soy milk and cut out the half-and-half. It is also recommended that you cut out the half-and-half for a lower fat alternative). This week's recipe is brought to you from the country of Morocco in Africa! All ingredients should be easily obtained at your local grocery store. This recipe would be perfect on a cold weekend day where you have plenty of time to allow it to simmer! Good luck!

Bon Apetit!
