Best Hummus Soup Recipes

HASA AL HUMMUS -- MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SOUP

Steps:

• In a soup pot combine the chickpeas and water and bring to a rolling boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 hour.
• While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onions, garlic, and hot pepper (we use a small straight pickled hot pepper from a jar) until they barely take on color; very slightly browned.
• Add the mixture and the remainder of the ingredients to the soup pot and simmer 1 hour or until the chickpeas are soft. You don't want a "bite" to the chickpeas but firm and creamy.
• NB: The preparation time does not include soaking the chickpeas.

TOMATO AND CHICKPEA SOUP (HASA TAMATA MA' HUMMUS)

• Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

• canned chickpeas.
• Combine chickpeas with the water or stock, turmeric, cumin, and coriander in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot.
• Bring to a boil and add the saffron.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour.
• Add the salt and continue to simmer another hour or until the beans are tender.
• (Less cooking time is required if using canned chickpeas.).
• Blend the soup to a smooth puree in a blender, immersion blender or food processor along with the garlic, lemon juice, and tahini.
• Pour back into the pot and whisk in the yogurt.
• Thin out, if you wish, with water or additional yogurt.
• Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Heat through and serve, topping each bowl with a spoonful of yogurt and garnishing with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the soup.
• I like to add a sprig of Italian parsley and a sprinkle of sumac on top of the soup.
• Soup will keep for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator and freezes well.

MUSHROOM-HUMMUS SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the madeira wine and cook 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits. Add the broth and thyme; simmer gently, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Discard the thyme sprigs. Stir the hummus into the soup. Transfer half of the soup to a blender and puree (remove the filler cap to let steam escape), then return to the saucepan and simmer 15 more minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix the lemon zest, parsley and scallions in a small bowl. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the yogurt and lemon-parsley mixture.

HUMMUS SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Heat a dutch oven or large sauce pan up over medium heat. Add peanut oil and bring it up to temperature. Add in shallots and cook until translucent...about 3-4 minutes.
• 2. Add mushrooms to the pot. Salt and pepper the mushrooms and stir occasionally for about 10-15 minutes, or until their liquids start to yield out.
• 3. Add garlic and stir. Cook for about a minute or so more, then add your rice wine. Deglaze the pan with the rice wine.
• 4. Add in broth, along with the thyme, bay leaf and turmeric. Stir then cover pot for a half-hour.
• 5. Pull out thyme sprigs and bay leaf and discard them. Stir in hummus. Cook for about 2 minutes longer.
• 6. Stir in yogurt, lemon zest, parsley and green onions. Salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. Side note: I sometimes like to serve this soup as a puree, but it is up to your preference if you like it chunky or not.
