NEW ENGLAND SOUP FACTORY'S SPICY CHICKPEA AND BUTTERNUT SOUP



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.

New England Soup Factory's Spinach and Zucchini Bisque image

Another recipe from the New England Soup Factory, known for their hearty and unusual combinations. The roasted leeks lend a smoky spice to the normally mild spinach and zucchini. I loved to get this when we lived in Boston; at least this way I can make it here in TX. From the Boston Globe paper in 1998.
