Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Canned Chickpeas (Drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Dried Chickpeas (Soaked overnight and cooked)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (For sautéing)
- 4 cloves Minced Garlic (Sauté until fragrant)
- 1 medium Potato (Cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary (Fresh or dried)
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (Fresh or dried)
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes (Adjust based on spice preference)
- to taste Freshly Cracked Pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable Broth (Low-sodium recommended)
Instructions
- Blend one can of chickpeas (with liquid) into a smooth purée; this will give your soup a lovely creamy texture. Set this aside for later use.
- In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
- Add the chickpea purée, the second can of drained chickpeas, cubed potato, paprika, rosemary, thyme, and chili flakes to the pot. Stir to fully mix all the wonderful flavors together.
- Pour in the vegetable broth to create a comforting base for your soup. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce to medium-low and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After simmering, taste your soup and adjust the flavors as needed, adding salt and freshly cracked pepper according to your preference.
- Optional: Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra kick of flavor.
Notes
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze the soup for up to 3 months; just make sure to let it cool completely before freezing.
