Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs pumpkin
6 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 tablespoon oil
2 onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 14-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup shredded basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the pumpkin in large wedges, leaving the skin on. Place the wedges in a baking dish and bake for 40 minutes or until soft and golden. In two batches, scrape the flesh into a food processor with 1 1/2 cups of the stock and blend until smooth. Heat a saucepan over medium to high heat. Add the oil, onions, and cumin and cook for 4 minutes or until soft. Add the mustard, honey, the remaining stock and the pumpkin puree and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir through the chickpeas and basil and cook for a further 5 minutes. Serve with grilled bread.

Tips:

  • Use canned chickpeas: Canned chickpeas are a convenient and time-saving option. If using dried chickpeas, remember to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it sweeter. You can also roast other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onions, to add to the soup.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, or even bone broth.
  • Add some spices: Spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika add a warm and earthy flavor to the soup. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Garnish the soup: Before serving, garnish the soup with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of olive oil. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin chickpea soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's also easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try.
