Time 25m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 garlic cloves, minced
3 dried hot red chiles, chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups crushed canned tomatoes, with juice
1/2 cup drained jarred roasted red peppers, rinsed
3 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
Sour cream, for serving
Parsley sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon, crush garlic, chiles, coriander, salt, and caraway to form a paste.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic mixture, and cook until just softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in chickpeas, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and stock. Simmer, stirring often, for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, puree soup in a blender. Rewarm if necessary. Divide among bowls, and top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of parsley.

I didn't have any cumin, so I used curry powder instead. The soup was still good, but it had a different flavor.

This soup is a bit too spicy for me. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used diced red peppers instead. The soup was still delicious!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas and tomatoes. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

This soup was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and packed with flavor. The chickpeas and tomatoes were a great combination, and the spices added just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be making this again.
