Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4-6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 12 ounces of chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon of cumin
- 2 teaspoons of paprika
- 1-2 teaspoons of salt, to taste
- Juice of one lemon
- Sourdough round loaf, top cut out
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, cook over medium heat the olive oil, garlic, carrots, and onion. Cover for 10 minutes or until the onions start to become translucent. When the onions start getting soft, add the cumin, paprika, and salt.
- In a separate pot, add chickpeas. Add enough water such that there is approximately 1.5' above the chickpeas. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes on medium heat. Monitor so that water is not lost.
- When chickpeas are cooked through and soft, add the garlic, carrots, and onion to the pot.
- Optional but encouraged: Remove ⅓ of the soup mixture and puree in a food processor or blender, then add back to the soup mixture.
- Add water if the consistency is not to your liking. Add salt until the taste is to your liking. Before placing in the bread bowl, add lemon juice and mix.
- Ladle soup into bread bowl. Enjoy.
