CREAMY SPINACH CHICKPEA SOUP
Steps:
- 1. Heat 3 tbsp. oil in a medium pot over medium heat and add shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute more. 2. Add chickpeas, broth, and salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until flavors are well blended and chickpeas are very soft, about 25 minutes. Add spinach and cook just until softened and bright green, about 2 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 1/2 tbsp. oil in a small frying pan over medium-low heat. Stir in curry powder and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds. Remove from heat. 4. Whirl half of soup at a time in a blender, starting on low speed, until very smooth. Ladle into bowls. Just before serving, stir lime juice into curry oil and drizzle over soup. Garnish with mint.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach.
- Wilt the spinach before adding it to the soup: This will help to reduce its volume and make it easier to blend.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that has a lot of flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be cooked until the spinach is wilted and the potatoes are tender, but not so long that the spinach loses its color.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This will add a creamy richness to the soup.
Conclusion:
Creamy spinach soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach. So next time you have some extra spinach on hand, be sure to give this soup a try.
