Chicken rice was ok for curry the day before yesterday, but I ordered the wrong quantity and bought it all. So I couldn't help but use it again😊 And I used the pumpkin I bought to make Huey's weaning food and finished it with a spruce. I swear it's so delicious 😆
If you want to name it, it's 'Bamboo Soup'!
The soft and sweet taste of pumpkin and the savory taste of chickpea combine to make a warm and cozy bowl.
✅ Pumpkin Chickpea Soup (Serves 5)
Ingredients
• 1kg pumpkin
• 2 onions
• 1 carrot (120g)
• 1 potato (330g)
• 500ml milk
• 350g canned chickpeas
• 800ml water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
1. Wash the pumpkin thoroughly, then microwave it for 5 minutes and 30 seconds.
2. Remove the seeds and cut the pumpkin into large chunks.
3. Slice the onions, carrot, and potato into thin pieces (not too thick).
Instructions
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot and add the onions, carrot, and potato.
2. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, then sauté over medium heat for 3 minutes.
3. Add the pumpkin and chickpeas, then pour in 800ml of water. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
4. Let it cool slightly, then blend until smooth.
5. Pour the blended mixture back into the pot. Add 500ml of milk to the blender, blend again to clean any remaining mixture, and pour it into the pot.
6. Adjust the seasoning with salt if needed, then simmer over low-medium heat for another 3 minutes.
7. Serve warm and enjoy!
TIP
• For an even smoother texture, strain the soup through a sieve.
• Serve with bread or croutons for extra flavor!
