NEW ENGLAND SOUP FACTORY'S SPICY CHICKPEA AND BUTTERNUT SOUP



New England Soup Factory's Spicy Chickpea and Butternut Soup image

When we lived in Boston, we loved to get soup from the New England Soup Factory, known for their hearty and unusual combinations. This is one of their recipes. Although it's a 'cream' soup, since the base is coconut milk it remains vegan. The coconut is perhaps not what you're used to seeing with chickpeas and butternut but it really adds a sweet richness and fullness.
