October 19, 2020

I came up with today’s soup recipe because I wanted to make Chick Peas for hummus this week, and I had to use up the fall vegetables that came from the local farm. Measurements may not be exact, if you’re a foodie like me, hopefully this recipe will give you some great ideas. Let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

2 TBS olive oil, diced

small sweet onion, diced

1/2 red pepper, diced

1 jalapeno, diced with seeds removed

2 carrots, peeled and diced

2 cloves of garlic, peeled

2 tsp of fresh ginger, peeled

Salt and pepper to taste and about 1 tsp each of oregano, basil and thyme.

1 TBS of tomato paste

32 oz of low sodium vegetable broth

8 oz of cooked Chick peas (approx) (You can use a can if you’re not going to make them from dried chick peas)

1/2 of small pumpkin, peeled and diced

1 zucchini, diced

Directions:

Crush garlic and ginger with kosher salt in a mortar and pestle until ground. Add spices, salt and pepper.

Add olive oil to a large sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat. Sautee onion, peppers, carrots, and garlic/ginger mixture until fragrant and onions are translucent.

Add tomato paste and mix for about 1 minute

Add in vegetable broth, chick peas, pumpkin and zucchini.

Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cook until pumpkin and zucchini are cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!
