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.

The soup was a bit too spicy for me, but overall it was still pretty good.

Not a fan of the combination of flavors. The butternut squash and chickpeas just didn't seem to go together.

Followed the recipe but the soup was too thick. Had to add more broth to thin it out.

The soup turned out a bit bland for my taste. Maybe I'll add some more spices next time.

The soup was easy to make and had a great flavor. I added a bit of extra spice to give it a little more heat. Definitely recommend!
