    Chilled Chickpea Soup

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I think now would be the perfect time to share one last really summery recipe, with this Chilled Chickpea Soup. Great for hot days, the pureed chickpeas make this a filling soup that won't leave you hungry!

    This really isn't the last summery recipe since I have tons of fresh produce to use, but this one is a middle of summer, it's 95 degrees out type of recipe! I'm sure it's still 95 in a bunch of places right now.

    I made this a while back after seeing it on Pinterest and realizing I already had most of the ingredients on hand, and could easily change the rest. It was a great way to use some of the vegetables from my garden. I don't make chilled soups all that often, with the exception of Bacon Gazpacho which has just recently become a favorite, but I've been looking for new ways to use up the vegetables from the garden and my CSA. They are everywhere!

    I love hummus and this soup is just like a thinned out hummus with chunky vegetables in it, then topped with blue cheese or feta cheese. Or really, any kind of cheese you like as long as it's a soft, crumbly cheese.
