Vegetable Soup with Roasted Garlic & Chickpeas

Domestic Diva - Veggie Soup with Roasted Garlic & Chickpeas

I love making soups in winter! There is something really heart warming and healing about them. Plus, garlic makes everything taste better, I have 10 in this recipe, but you can add more. You can never have enough garlic. Roasting the chickpeas and garlic gives a beautiful rich flavour to the soup.

  • Pre-heat oven to 180° deg.
  • Place chickpeas and garlic on to a small baking tray. Season with a little salt and garlic salt. Bake in the oven for approx. 20 minutes, stirring half way through. Just watch the chick peas as when you stir them, they can “pop”.

  • Add celery, potato and swede into TM bowl. Chop for 5 seconds on speed 7.
  • Add stock paste and water. Add slightly over half of the chickpea and garlic mix into the TM bowl with the soup. (reserve the rest for garnish on the top of the soup). Cook for 15 minutes 100 deg speed 2. Place the simmering basket on top of lid in place of the measuring cup.
  • Once cooked, insert measuring cup into mixing bowl lid and puree the soup by turning to speed 5, then slowly increase to speed 9 for 1 minute.
  • Serve soup with roasted chickpeas and garlic spooned on top. Garnish with fresh parsley and salt to taste.
