Hummus Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the madeira wine and cook 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits. Add the broth and thyme; simmer gently, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Discard the thyme sprigs. Stir the hummus into the soup. Transfer half of the soup to a blender and puree (remove the filler cap to let steam escape), then return to the saucepan and simmer 15 more minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix the lemon zest, parsley and scallions in a small bowl. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the yogurt and lemon-parsley mixture.

Steps:

• Soak the chickpeas overnight and drain, or rinse and drain.
• canned chickpeas.
• Combine chickpeas with the water or stock, turmeric, cumin, and coriander in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot.
• Bring to a boil and add the saffron.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour.
• Add the salt and continue to simmer another hour or until the beans are tender.
• (Less cooking time is required if using canned chickpeas.).
• Blend the soup to a smooth puree in a blender, immersion blender or food processor along with the garlic, lemon juice, and tahini.
• Pour back into the pot and whisk in the yogurt.
• Thin out, if you wish, with water or additional yogurt.
• Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Heat through and serve, topping each bowl with a spoonful of yogurt and garnishing with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the soup.
• I like to add a sprig of Italian parsley and a sprinkle of sumac on top of the soup.
• Soup will keep for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator and freezes well.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the vegetable stock, water, and chickpeas. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10-15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
• Meanwhile, make the pita croutons: Tear the pita into small pieces. Spread on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with za'atar. Toss until well coated.
• Transfer to the oven and toast until the pita croutons are golden brown, 7-10 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth and creamy. Stir in tahini, nutritional yeast, and salt.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the pita croutons, feta, and parsley. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
