Ill start off with a household favorite in the Sectus Household. I think I invented it myself, so maybe you can help me name it.
this makes what I technically call a Bunch of Soup, IE as much as fits in my medium stock pot.
Soup Whot Has Chickpeas In It And Is Spicey
1 onion chopped fine
3 stalks of celery, chopped fine
3 carrots, diced small
4 cans of chickpeas - adding some butterbeans or black eyed beans can be nice too
Chicken stock to cover - about a liter, maybe a bit more
1 tablespoon (or more if you like da spicey) sambal olek. If you do not have any, mince a few chillies with some salt and a clove of garlic.
2 tablespoons of Kecap Manis or a nice sweet soy sauce
2-3 tablerspoons of Cumin (taste to see if it is cuminey enough for you)
First soften your veg with a drop of olive oil and the Sambal or minced chillies. Then add everything else except the Cumin and the Kecap / soy sauce. Simmer until it is all soft, then blend it with a hand-blender until you get a nice thick soup. Add more spicies, Kecap and Cumin to taste.
Serve with a sprinkling of fresh
unless you are weird, and some nice crusty rough bread. Really simple yet tasty.
