Chickpea And Corn Soup Recipes

MOROCCAN SPICED CHICKPEA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until the onions begin to turn translucent; lower heat if browning starts to occur. Add spices and saute a minute or so. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, broth, and sugar. Season with a couple pinches of salt and 10 grinds fresh pepper. Stir well. Chickpeas should be just covered with liquid. If level is shy, add some water so the chickpeas are just covered.
• Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to low and gently simmer for 45 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat. Use a potato masher to mash up some of the chickpeas right in the pot. Stir in the spinach and let heat through until wilted, just a couple minutes.
• Season again, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Serve soup, drizzled lightly with extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.

ROASTED CORN AND CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the corn and chickpeas in a medium bowl. Add the coriander, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper and mix well. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the vinegar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil. Add the corn mixture, tomatoes and scallions and toss to combine.

CHICKPEA NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Warm the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the onion, celery, carrots and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are turning translucent and softening, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the turmeric and curry powder, if using, and stir constantly for about 30 seconds to wake up their flavors. Add the bay leaf, chickpeas, pasta, parsley and broth.
• Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and continue simmering until the pasta is pleasantly tender, about 10 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and season generously with pepper. Add more salt, to taste, if necessary (I usually add another 1/4 teaspoon). Serve while hot, with some extra parsley and pepper on top as garnish.
• Once cool, store the soup in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
