Vegetarian stew from Marrakesh

Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil. Add the parsley, ginger, pepper, turmeric, paprika, and coriander powder. Follow with the potatoes, carrots, leeks, lentils, tomato paste, and chili pepper. Then add the tomato puree and vegetable stock, along with enough water to cover the vegetables. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes. The vegetables should still have some bite. Five minutes before serving, add the chickpeas, beans, and pasta. Once the pasta is tender, add the lime juice and season with salt. The goal is a thick, creamy soup.
