Ingredients

3/4 cup dried garbanzo beans, soaked overnight,cooked until tender (or use 1 can, drained and rinsed)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted or 1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup finely chopped onion (about 2 medium)
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot (about 1 medium)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4-1 teaspoon crumbled dried basil

1 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes
3 cups chicken broth or 3 cups water
crumbled dried basil

Steps:

Heat butter or olive oil over medium heat and saute garlic, onions and carrot until translucent; add pepper, herbs and tomatoes and bring to boil (note: I puree my tomatoes in the blender, but you can use them whole and break them up as they cook for more texture); reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, breaking up tomatoes as they cook; mix in chickpeas and broth; taste and adjust seasoning; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes to blend flavours; add more broth or water to thin, if necessary; serve with a sprinkle of dried, crumbled basil.

CHICKPEA VEGETABLE SOUP WITH PARMESAN, ROSEMARY AND LEMON

Chickpea Vegetable Soup With Parmesan, Rosemary and Lemon image

This satisfying, colorful soup is loaded with chickpeas and vegetables, and it's incredibly easy to make. There's not much more to it than tossing everything into a pot and letting it simmer for a couple of hours (no sautéing!) until everything is tender. Do not forget to finish the soup with a flurry of the rosemary, Parmesan, lemon zest and pepper mixture. It really makes this soup sing.

1 whole clove
1/2 onion, sliced root to stem so it stays intact, peeled
1 pound dried chickpeas, soaked overnight and drained
1 sprig rosemary, plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped leaves
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 fresh bay leaves or 1 dried
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt, more to taste
1 small Parmesan rind, plus 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup diced tomatoes, canned or fresh
2 medium carrots, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 celery stalks, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Zest of 1 lemon

EGYPTIAN CHICKPEA AND TOMATO SOUP

Egyptian Chickpea and Tomato Soup image

An easy and filling dish. The overall aroma is sweet from the allspice but each bite is a perfect blend of flavors. The original recipe was found on recipes4us.co.uk but I've altered it to suit my tastes. I have also made this soup using leftover, unseasoned rice and sometimes subbing chicken broth for some or all of the water. Thanks to Kumsie, I've deleted an unnecessary step from the directions to help clarify the use of the coriander (cilantro). :)

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 -4 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped & divided in half (cilantro)
14 ounces chickpeas, rinsed and drained (garbanzo beans)
12 ounces tomato juice
16 ounces water
2 ounces long grain rice
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add garlic and onions, then sauté gently until golden brown.
Add 2 Tablespoons of the coriander (cilantro) and the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, while stirring.
Reduce heat to medium/low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender. Garnish each bowl with the reserved cilantro.

Tips:

Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful the soup will be.
Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a smoky depth of flavor.
Use a variety of herbs: The herbs in this soup add a lot of flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations.
Don't overcook the chickpeas: Chickpeas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream: This will add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

This herbed tomato and chickpea soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try.
