chickpea soup

IT’S BASICALLY HOT HUMMUS.

that sounds disgusting but it’s not. one of my favourite soups i just forgot to make it for a real long time.

• two cans of chickpeas or the equivalent amount of dried (i dunno what that is im too lazy) (sometimes it’s a hard choice between lazy and cheaper)

• an onion

• a carrot

• one stalk of celery (come on guys those three things are basic soup making knowledge)

IM CURRENTLY LISTENING TO STEVE EARLE’S COPPERHEAD ROAD.

• cumin seeds. mortar and pestled the shit out of.

• cayenne pepper

• peanut butter (I KNOW. this sounds weird. but it’s actually what makes it so good and i was debating even including this because it’s my secret).

• chicken stock/vegetable stock/water

sauté those mire poix things, add the chickpeas blahblah let it simmer while you have a shower, blend it, etc etc. it’s making soup not rocket science.

if you want to be an asshole and/or heat up your kitchen even more in august you could roast a few chickpeas with salt/pepper/cumin and then use them as a garnish.

i stuck a couple rice chips in there and sprinkled some extra cumin seeds sowhat.

• oh, also garlic.
