Title: Tomato, pumpkin and chickpea soup
Post by: Lellyj on October 05, 2011, 09:17:53 am
I copied a soup that I tried in a cafe today . . . I thought it was quite tasty.  Very thrown together, so quantities are quite flexible


1 largish onion, quatered
2 cloves of garlic
3 rashers of bacon
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp of chilli flakes
3 cups of water
3 tsps of chicken stock paste
1 1/2  cups of tomato purree
1/2 of a butternut pumpkin, peeled and diced
a tin of chickpeas, drained


Chop onion, garlic and bacon on speed 6 for a few seconds.  Scrape down, add oil and chilli and cook on speed 1, 100 deg for 3 or 4 minutes

Add water, stock paste, puree and pumpkin.  Cook 100 deg, 20 minutes, speed 1 reverse.

I whizzed it for just a few seconds to leave the soup a little chunky rather than totally smooth.  In the cafe, the soup I had looked like it had just been mashed with a fork rather than pureed, and I wanted to replicate this.

Add chick peas and cook another couple of minutes 100 , reverse speed 1.

I was really pleased with this soup, a little different, wouldn't have thought of these flavours if it wasnt for having the soup when I was out.

Certainly different Lellyj.  I was looking through a list of soups the other day and nothing different jumped out at me - this one would have though.

Yes JD, a bit different.  I just had the last bowl for lunch and it was yum!

Lelly, this sounds like a must do. Our weather in Lake Macquarie
is anything but summery and this soup sounds wonderful.
