Chickpea And Leek Miso Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over low heat. Add the garlic and fry until golden, 1 minute. Add pepper flakes, parsley, chickpeas, salt, pepper to taste and 6 cups of water. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove half the chickpeas and mash. Return the mashed chickpeas to the saucepan and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with bread.

Steps:

• Rinse the soaked chickpeas, cover with water, and cook with the potato until tender. Remove the outer skin of the leeks, slice lengthways from the root up, wash carefully and slice finely.
• Warm a thick-bottomed pan, and add the tablespoon of oil and the knob of butter. Add the leeks and garlic to the pan, and sweat gently with a good pinch of salt until tender and sweet. Add the drained chickpeas and potato and cook for 1 minute. Add about 2/3 of the stock and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Puree half of the soup in a food processor, and leave the other half chunky. This gives a lovely smooth comforting feel but also keeps a bit of texture. Now, add enough of the remaining stock to achieve the consistency you like. Check for seasoning, and add Parmesan, to taste, to round off the flavors.
• This is classy enough for a starter, but I like it best for lunch in a big bowl with a good drizzle of my best peppery extra-virgin olive oil, a grinding of black pepper and an extra sprinkling of Parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, celery, and carrots until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in broccoli and chickpeas; cook about 2 minutes.
• Add 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Dissolve miso in 2 tablespoons cool water and stir into soup. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Rinse the soaked chick peas and cover with water.
• Add chopped potato and cook until veggies are tender.
• Clean, wash, and mince the leeks.
• Heat a large soup pan, spray with Pam.
• Add the leeks and garlic, cook slowly with a good pinch of salt.
• Add the chickpeas and potato and cook for a minute.
• Add 2/3 of the bouillon and cook for 15 minutes.
• Decide if you want to purée the soup, purée part, or not purée at all.
• I like the purée part of the soup option and add back to the pot, so half is puréed and half chunky.
• The easiest way it to use an immersion mixer, and blend until you have the consistency you want.
• Add however much of the left over 1/3 bouillon to get the texture you want, salt and pepper to taste, add 1T of grated Parmesan and mix Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan over the top to serve.

Steps:

• Put chicken thighs in a large pot, seasoning well with salt and pepper on both sides. Add smashed garlic cloves, ginger slices, onion, 6 cups water (or chicken broth, if you prefer) and mirin, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 30 minutes, until tender. Remove chicken to a baking dish. Strain broth into a bowl. Place back into the pot, and keep warm. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine miso, gochugaru, grated garlic, grated ginger, vinegar and sugar. Add a little hot broth to thin, then smear mixture over chicken and coat well.
• Bake chicken until browned and glazed, about 20 minutes.
• While chicken is cooking, bring broth to a simmer, taste and adjust seasoning. Add leeks and cook until just done - soft, but still green, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, slice chicken into 1/4-inch pieces and divide among large soup bowls, then ladle broth on top. Spoon any remaining miso mixture from pan over chicken. Garnish with scallions.

Steps:

• Slice leeks. Heat oil in soup pot, and saute leeks on low until soft. Add chickpeas, rice, and water, and simmer until leeks are softened, approx 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and add miso paste, stirring until well mixed. Serve warm.
