Vegan Vittles: Split Chickpea Soup

January 15, 2011 Leave a Comment

This is a recipe my fiance whipped up from veggies in our fridge. According to my friends at Wedding Craft Party 2.0, this soup is to die for. I concur.

Split Chickpea Soup Ingredients

Two onions, finely chopped.
Three carrots finely chopped.
two bell peppers (one red, one yellow) finely chopped.
The cooked equivalent of about half a pound of dried split chickpeas.
28 oz can of Tomato sauce
two 28 oz cans filled with water.
Maybe 5 or 6 tablespoons of curry powder, but that is just a guess.
Another tablespoon or so of turmeric.
salt & pepper

Instructions

Cook the first three vegetables in a big soup pot with a bunch of hot olive oil.
Keep the lid on, so they get nice and soft.
Once they’ve gotten soft, but before the start to brown, put in the tomato sauce and water.
Add the beans and seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and let it cook down until it is at the desired consistency.
Oh, and I tossed in a chopped fresh tomato at the end, but that was just because I wanted to get rid of it.
Thanks, fiance, for the recipe!

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!

Anybody else feel like they are beginning to return to themselves, so to speak, this spring?
