Scale
- 1/4 cup of water to water saute the onion and garlic
- 1 large onion cubed
- 2 large garlic chopped or 2 teaspoons of pre-chopped garlic
- 2 cans of chickpeas with the liquid (to puree for the creaminess)
- 2 cans of chickpeas drained to add whole to the soup
- 3 cups of cubed potatoes (white or yellow) about 3 -4 medium pealed
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon thyme flakes
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 4 cups of vegetable broth (one box)
- pepper
For a slurry to thicken the soup:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of cold water
Instructions
- Chop by hand or with a food chopper (the Valdivia Chopper) the onion, and potatoes into cube or bit size, and finely chop the garlic. Set aside.
- In a food processer or blender puree 2 cans of the chickpeas with the liquid from the cans. Set aside.
- Heat the soup pot or Dutch oven on medium heat.
- Add to the pot the onion and 1/4 cup of water. Saute and stir for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. (add more water if this gets too dry so as not to burn the onion and garlic.
- Lower the heat and add the chili flakes, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and pepper.
- Next, add the potatoes, 2 cans of chickpeas (drained) and veggie broth. Mix well.
- Add the pureed chickpeas and bring to a boil.
- After the soup boils reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes give it a stir and see if the potatoes are cooked and the soup is at a thickness that you like. If the soup is too thin, mix in a small bowl 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water, add this to the soup, stir and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Notes
- For my onions and potatoes in any soup I like to make the veggies uniform cube by using my Vadalia chopper.
- This recipe a no salt no oil recipe. Feel free to saute your onions in olive oil and add salt if you like.
