This soup is a nice quick soup and quite tasty. They recommended Feta cheese - I'm not a huge Feta fan so I found goat cheese worked well. Do make sure you add enough lemon juice - it adds a nice fresh taste to the soup.
Hummus Soup (Adapted from Cooking Light*)
olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 c chicken or vegetable stock
2 c water
2 15oz cans chickpeas
1/4 c tahini
2T lemon juice and zest from one lemon
salt
goat cheese for garnish
Add 1T olive oil, onion, and salt to large saucepan. Cook until onions are fairly tender (about 10 minutes). Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add stock and water; bring to a simmer. Add chickpeas, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes. Pour into blender (or use stick blender) and process until smooth. Add tahini, lemon, and zest. Ladle into bowls and drizzle with olive oil and top with cheese.
I didn't find the pan roasted chickpeas that they recommended added anything to the soup so I skipped that here. It added no texture and not really a heck of a lot of additional flavor. This is a really quick cooking meal and is nice for a cold day.
*Once again so hot off the press it's not up on the website yet
