Spicy Chickpea Soup
A soup doesn't have to be dull and just for when you are feeling sick. This spicy chickpea soup is sassy and there is nothing boring about it.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 250 gr canned chickpeas
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 250 gr canned tomatoes
- 1 carrot cut into dices
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 onion thinly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ dried chili
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a big soup pot. Toss the onion and the garlic and cook until the onion is slightly transparent.
- Add the carrot, and the celery. Cook for a couple minutes.
- Add the canned tomatoes. Smash them first. (note 1)
- Add the spices (chili, thyme, oregano) and the vegetable broth. Simmer until the carrots are soft.
- Add the chickpeas and simmer for a couple minutes. Add salt to taste.
Notes
- If you want a smoother soup you can blend them. I personally prefer leaving some chunks of tomato, so I only smash them with my hands.
