Best Quick Black Chickpea Soup With Cumin Seeds Recipes

APRIL'S SPICY CHICKPEA SOUP WITH KALE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium-sized pot until warm. Add cumin seeds and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, chickpeas, and kale.
• Bring soup to a simmer and cook until kale is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; stir in parsley. Remove from heat; top with Parmesan cheese.

CHICKPEA SOUP WITH CUMIN AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened but not browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the chickpeas, chicken broth, cumin, salt and pepper.
• Put the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. Scrape the mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium-low heat until hot. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Ladle into 4 bowls and serve immediately.

FRANK DE CARLO'S BLACK CHICKPEA SOUP

Steps:

• Wash the chickpeas and soak them in water to cover for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat and brown the bones well. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
• Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, drained chickpeas and wine, and add enough water to cover by about an inch. Cover and bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn the heat down to low and cook, checking occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't dry out. (Mine didn't, but if yours does, add water as necessary.) The chickpeas and meat will become tender at about the same time, which could be after 3 hours or more.
• At some point make the croutons: Toss the bread cubes with olive oil. Bake at 325 degrees on a baking sheet; toss occasionally, until beautifully golden. Sprinkle with a little salt and set aside.
• Remove the bones; shred and return the meat to the pot. Reheat, adding the greens and cooking until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Beat the eggs, add them and stir. Add 2 handfuls cheese.
• Ladle into bowls; top with cracked pepper and torn basil. Frank finishes with more cheese and more oil. Why not?
