Chickpea Soup
What you need
- 1 tin of chickpeas
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- butter
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Soften onion and carrot in butter, add the drained chickpeas and three cups of water. Simmer twenty minutes, then mash half of it to thicken the pot.
How it feels to make
Mashing only half is the trick — you get body and you still get whole chickpeas.
Mom wrote on the back
Mash half, leave half. Nobody wants to eat a bowl of paste.
