Chickpea and spinach soup - with spices

[tonicha]

I made it earlier, but left out the spinach, as we were going down for a beer or three, before dinner. I tasted it before we went and thought......erm, okay, not bad.

We came back to the most fantabbytobbey smell

So I had to have a taste, even though it was getting cool - it's fantastic cue the dancing girls.

I'll put the spinach in later, just before we eat and if it's as gorgeous as it smells and tastes now, then I'll post it tomorrow

I've also made some chilli and garlic naan breads, so I am really looking forward to dinner now

I put a chickpea and spinach recipe on here yonks ago for Debih - think it might have been on the 'old' board.

It's such an easy recipe, isn't it.

I love chickpeas and I love spinach.

I've just had a look at my recipe and mine is a BBC good food one..it's been well used!

I'd always add the spices to give it va-va-voom as just chickpeas and spinach might be a bit bland on their own.

I've decided we'll have that tomorrow but I'll add some chopped chicken as well.

I'm getting hungry now - and it's far too early to eat

Think I've written down one of your spinach and chickpeas curry things Ally - it'll be in my scrapbook somewhere. Something else to try.

Hmmmm, hummus soup: lush.

Ton, if you make it thicker you have a base for hummus, once you have that the world is your lobster. A bit of tahini, garlic, sesame seeds.....

When I was in the ME there were all sorts of varieties for dipping or spreading..... or simply gorging on.

ALE, the dips had things like chicken, prawns, nuts and so on added. I was addicted.

Now I'm hungry.

I am such a pig - today I've had 2 breakfasts.

Lunch out.

Snackettes.

And we're going out tonight for beer and food.

Chickpea and spinach curry is a firm favourite in this house WM.

Now I'm hungry again.

We'll be having the soup, with naan breafd and then chicken curry, with rice and naan bread

Grumpy likes chips with his curry - but only if it's a beef one - but he's getting better only taken me 30 odd years
