What IS the Zucchini Chickpea dance? Seriously? You don’t know? Fine, I’ll tell you. You step to your left, clap twice, yell ZUCCHINI! Step to your right, clap twice, yell CHICKPEA. Clap your hands up in the air over your head and yell TAHINI. If you don’t know what tahini is, ask your neighbor. Then you shimmy your hips around and around like you’re an immersion blender. Keep shimmying! Don’t stop! Then you roll your shoulders back, clap twice and yell SO AWESOME. Hey – I didn’t invent the dance – don’t blame me! Then when you are done you eat a bowl of Zucchini Chickpea soup either hot or cold. Only dance I’ve ever heard of that ends with food consumption. For that reason alone, I request it at all the weddings and bar mitzvahs that I attend.
Ingredients (in no particular order): zucchini, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, onion, cumin, cayenne pepper, canola oil, homemade vegetable stock goodness
Soup type: Cold, Pureed

This was great! Very innovative.
Five Stars! This was so delicious! I wished I would have gotten two quarts instead of one pint!!! I can’t believe I loved it so much. I expected it to be somewhat bland; yeah, despite the cumin and cayenne pepper. Well, I discovered a subtle but stupendous flavor and a magnificent texture. Yum, yum. Kudos to The SouperGirl once again. Also, just goes to show … never underestimate a Dance Soup! Please bring this one back. (…and who would have thought chick peas were so versatile; I never dreamed zucchini and chick peas together would have me raving about the end result.) Oh….Dance like there’s no tomorrow. Dance. Dance.
This soup is so good!! I have to admit I had my doubts, but my husband and I just polished off a quart and I find myself wishing I had ordered 4 more! So delicious. I definitely recommend.
I still dream about this soup! We thought it was laden with heavy cream, but it was just terrific pureed chickpeas. And the spicing was perfect. We kinda wish Soupergirl would make this a permanent weekly suggestion . . . but then I guess we would miss out on discovering other delicious soups!
