For the lentil vegetables, soak the lentils the day before in 3 times the amount of water. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic in oil until translucent.
Add the lentils and sauté briefly. Deglaze with a dash of white wine and reduce. Add potatoes, carrots, vegetable stock, dates and all spices.
Let the stew simmer for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable soup. Add the pumpkin to the stew and cook with the other vegetables until al dente.
Add the couscous to the vegetable soup with a pinch of salt. Remove from the plate and let it stand for about 15 minutes.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and parsley.
