* The serving size for this recipe differs depending on how thick you like the soup. It could be thick enough to put in a plate over rice or made like a soup you eat in a bowl. With the amount of ingredients above you should make about 12 cups from this recipe. (if you omit the blach eye peas deduct 10 calories per cup)

1. Take the first 6 ingredients, wash and chop in the magic bullet.

2. heat olive oil on medium heat in a large soup pot. add onion. sautee a little until light yellow. Slowly add your chopped veggies .

3. Add water to a cover veggies, (a little more for thinner soup), bring to a slow boil.

4. add tomato paste,chicken consomme, black eye peas (optional), and lemon (a little you could add more later).

5. Let simmer as long as possible. The soup will turn a dark, dark green color. Add more water as it is absorbed and evaporates.

6. taste a bit... needs lemon add some, needs salt add that too.

    I combined elements of this recipe with the other one here on SparkRecipe - "Ghormeh Sabzi (slow cooker)" which mentions using the dried herbs. I had already bought the dried herbs and finally found the dried lemon/limes Omani (many names it seems!) yesterday. Gonna fix some rice now! - 3/1/14

    Thanks for putting up a vegetarian ghormeh sabzee recipe. We eat veggie persian food in our house. This isn't exactly how I make mine, but it looks delicious and I think will be close enough for calorie count. Going to try the tomato paste this time. Thanks again - 3/10/10
