Ingredients

Chickpea Purée

  • 1 can chickpeas, with liquid

Soup

  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 large garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 large potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained

For Drizzling

  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chickpea Purée: Pour one can of chickpeas including its liquid into a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside to form the creamy soup base.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a medium-sized pot. Add the freshly minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Combine Ingredients and Stir: Add the chickpea purée, drained second can of chickpeas, cubed potato, paprika, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, and freshly cracked black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine, then pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth and stir again.
  4. Boil and Simmer the Soup: Cover the pot with a lid and increase heat to medium-high to bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and blend flavors.
  5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: After simmering, taste and adjust salt if needed (about 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • For a thicker soup, blend some of the cooked potatoes before adding them back in.
  • Vegetable broth saltiness varies; taste before adding extra salt.
  • Serve with crusty bread to enhance the enjoying experience.
