Chickpea Soup with Carrots both Delicious and Nutritious!
Prep: 5m | Soak: Overnight | Cook: 1h | Total: 1h 5m | Serves: 6-8
Ingredients:
- 500g Chickpeas
- 2 Carrots, peeled
- 1 Carrot, cubed
- 2 medium Potatoes, peeled
- 1 big Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2L Water, for boiling the chickpeas (about 4 cups)
- 1 cup Carrot broth or Water, for the soup sauce
- Juice of 2 Lemons
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Soak the chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours.*
- In the morning, rinse them well under running water, drain them, and add them to a pressure cooker with 1.2 Liters of water. This amount of water should be enough to cover them.
- As soon as they come to a boil, remove the foam that will form on the surface of the pot.
- Add 2 peeled carrots and 1 peeled potato and close the lid of the pressure cooker. After you hear the whistle, turn off the heat and leave it on the stove for 1 hour.
- For a normal pot simmer for 2 hours.
- In another pot, boil the diced carrot with 400ml of water (1.5 cups) for 5 minutes. Drain and set them aside but keep the water.
- Return the empty pot back to the stove and start making the soup sauce by sauteing the onion with the olive oil until it turns transparent.
- Then add the boiled potato, carrots, lemon juice, 2 large soup spoons from the juice that the chickpeas were boiling, salt, and pepper, mix and crush them a little with a spoon. After it comes to a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the carrot broth or water (3/4 cup) and blend everything together with a hand blender. If you don’t have a hand blender, you can add it little by little to your food processor and blend it by pouring the carrot broth slowly.
- Combine the chickpeas with the soup sauce in one pot, bring to a boil all together and the chickpea carrot soup is ready.
- Serve with feta cheese, and/or olives, and sourdough bread.
Notes:
Chickpeas in a can, do NOT need soaking.
