Ingredients

Soup Ingredients

  • 8 Medium Garlic Cloves, roughly chopped
  • 4 Cups Vegetable Stock
  • 2 15-ounce Cans Chickpeas (one can with liquid, one can drained)
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Rosemary
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Lightly Packed Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped
  • To serve: Crusty bread

Instructions

  1. Sauté Garlic: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the roughly chopped garlic for about 1 minute or until fragrant, adding a splash of vegetable broth if the garlic begins to stick to the pot bottom.
  2. Add Ingredients and Simmer: Pour in the remaining vegetable stock along with the full can of chickpeas including their liquid. Stir in the smoked paprika, dried rosemary, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Blend Soup: Carefully transfer the hot soup base into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture.
  4. Heat Chickpeas: Return the blended soup to the pot and add the drained can of chickpeas to preserve some texture. Heat the soup for 3 to 5 minutes until the chickpeas are warmed through.
  5. Finish with Cilantro: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh, roughly chopped cilantro for a bright, fresh flavor contrast.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with torn pieces of crusty bread, perfect for dipping or turning into croutons.

Notes

  • The soup can be adjusted to your preferred thickness by adding more or less vegetable stock before blending.
  • For a smoky flavor, you can lightly toast the smoked paprika before adding it to the soup.
  • Crusty bread can be toasted and rubbed with garlic to complement the soup.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Use fresh herbs if dried are unavailable, adjusting quantities accordingly.
