I get these email updates from the goodfood channel. They had a couple of soup recipes so I said I would give this one a try. Some more to come. I added some potato to it as well just to bulk it up. It’s a good one I have to say. It’s nice to get away from the bog standard veg soup. Here it is.

4 servings

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 large potato, chopped

1 tsp finely grated fresh root ginger

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 tbsp garam masala

850 ml vegetable stock

2 large carrots, chopped

400g can chickpeas, drained

100g green beans, chopped

Method

1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, then add the onion, carrot and potato and fry for 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat and cover with a lid to saute for a couple of minutes. Remove the veg from the saucepan and set aside.

2. Fry off the garam masala, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes.

3. Add the chickpeas, beans and re-add the veg.

4. Add the stock, bring to the boil and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes.

5. Use a stick blender to whizz a little to your required texture.

The recipe says to serve it with naan bread. I didn’t have any to hand. The tesco’s light choices one is really good.
