I was walking near the Capitol yesterday when I came across a group of chickpeas protesting something. “A LOT MORE THAN HUMMUS!!” read one sign. “ARE WE JUST A DIP TO YOU??” read another. I walked up to one and asked what all the fuss was about. “We are sick of being pigeonholed. We are very flavorful and rich in dietary fiber. Does anyone every talk about that? Nooooo… We’re just something to dip pita in – and we’re sick of it!” I asked, “Have you thought about soup?” The chickpea replied, “Soup? Soup sounds good! Are you going to use tahini in the soup? If so, we are OUT.” “No,” I said. “I was thinking more of an Indian style soup with funky spices like garam masala and ginger. Oh, and some coconut millk! And you know what? I can sweeten you up with some apple juice! Oh, it’ll be awesome! What do you say??” “Boys!” he called out to his crew. “We’re done! This lady is going to make us into some awesome soup! No tahini! Let’s get lunch.” I suggested Lebanese Taverna. Whoops!

Good soup, as usual. Great consistency. Subtle flavor. Beautiful Fall color. Yum!
Loved it….texture is comforting, flavor is inspired….added dollop of greek yogurt and that was good, too. I could even see this one getting a little more heat from some cayenne to go along w/the (delicate) sweetness of the juice and coconut milk. In fact, I think that maybe the only tweak I’d suggest for this very excellent soup.
My first Soupergirl experience – DE-licious!
I am eating this soup right now. It is so delicious that I couldn’t wait until I was done to write a review. OK, back to my soup.
Disappointing. Indian? Chick pea? Seemed like a slam dunk. Oh well.
This was great soup. I loved the suprisingly creamy texture.
like the cream, but needed more ‘zang’. nonetheless, a fantastic soup i’m gonna try to recreate. realllly great late night snack, too.
