Quick Fix in the Thermomix - Sweet Potato & Chickpea Soup p. 150
« on: September 21, 2012, 01:00:56 pm »
Very nice thickish soup about the consistency of pumpkin. The chickpeas obviously thicken it, but don't overpower. There is the back taste of cayenne to spice it up, and then the lemon gives the slight citrus tang. Mixed with a dollop of natural yoghurt, and yummy toasted homemade bread on the side. Great soup 5/5

I have everything for this CP so I must do it. I love the soup that has chick peas in 'Full Steam Ahead' so I'm sure we'll like this.

I made this soup tonight but omitted the lemon juice - I wasn't sure how the soup would go down with my boys, so thought I'd keep it simple for the first attempt.

The boys thought it was ok, but I had to convince them to finish it (by convince, I mean inform them there's no dessert unless they finish ALL their dinner!).

So while the boys didn't like the soup all that much,  hubby and I really liked it. I thought the consistency was great (nice and thick) and the flavour was good. Best of all, lots of vegies!

We had it with some fresh bread, and it was yummy!

Made this the other day and it looks and even tastes very similar to pumpkin soup. You can't even detect that there's chickpeas in it. Simple and will make it again.

I used ground coriander and cumin, as I didn't have any seeds.

I didn't like the taste of homemade yoghurt with it but preferred it with creme fraiche, which I had to use up.

I made this for some visitors on the weekend. It was really easy and very tasty -when guests ask for the recipe you know it's good! I wouldn't normally bother with the lemon, but glad I did. 5/5 from us.

We had this for dinner last night. I didn't have any chick peas so used Cannelini beans. It was still delicious. I was a little heavy handed with the cayenne but the family enjoyed that. To make it a bit easier to eat with the cayenne I swirled yoghurt through mine. Perfect.
As you can see from the bowl, I had eaten half of it before I took the photo!
