Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil
  • 1 can (14oz.) garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
  • 1/2 heaping teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 heaping teaspoon cumin
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, or 1 small, diced
  • 1 lb. carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 heaping teaspoon ground coriander
  • 5 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Instruction

  • Chickpeas: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, a silpat, or light grease with coconut or olive oil.
  • Drain and rinse chickpeas. Gently pat dry, they don’t have to be completely dry. In a medium size mixing bowl, place the chickpeas, oil, turmeric, cumin and salt, mix well to coat. Place chickpeas on baking sheet in a single layer. Place in oven for 40 – 45 minutes, stirring once. Set aside to cool.
  • Soup: In a large dutch oven/pot, heat oil over medium heat, add onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add carrots, sweet potato and coriander, cook for 1 minute or so, add broth/water, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until carrots and potatoes are fork tender. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Puree the soup using an immersion blender. Alternately, you can use either a blender or food processor (may take 2 batches to complete). Add extra water as needed to thin. Reheat on low until warmed through if needed.
  • To Serve: Serve topped with roasted chickpeas and chopped cilantro. A small handful of micro-greens are great too! Pair with your favorite artisan bread.
