Chunky Squash Chickpea Soup Recipe 43

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place squash, cumin and crumbled chilli on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, mix together and place in the preheated oven. Roast 45 minutes until the squash is cooked through. Heat a large saucepan and pour in a splash of oil. Add the celery, garlic, parsley stalks and two-thirds of the onion. Cover and cook gently until softened. Drop in the roasted squash and let it sweat for a few minutes, then pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer 15 minutes. Add chickpeas and simmer 15 minutes more. Season soup well and, using a hand-held blender, whiz for a few seconds so it thickens, but there are still some chunky bits. Keep warm while you mix together the lemon zest, chopped parsley leaves and mint leaves. Chop the remaining onion until it's really fine, then mix into the zesty mixture. To serve, spoon half a teaspoon of harissa paste into each bowl. Divide the zesty herb mixture among the bowls and ladle over the soup. Stir each bowl once with a spoon, then sprinkle with the toasted fennel seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds and almond flakes and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
