Serves/Makes: 8
Ready in: 1-2 hrs
- 2 butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2/3 cup chopped onion
- 1 can (19 ounce size) chickpeas
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 7 cups water to cover (or chicken broth)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
Scrub squash and cut off stem end. Slice in half lengthwise and remove seeds and strands. Peel, cube and set aside. In a large soup pot with cover, heat the oil and saute the onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the squash cubes, chickpeas, cinnamon, hot red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Add just enough water to cover the squash and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium-low for 30 to 40 minutes, until squash is fork-tender. Remove from heat and puree in batches in a food processor or food mill. Return to pot and cook 5 more minutes, or reheat gently just before serving. Divide among bowls and garnish each with a small dollop (about a teaspoon) of sour cream or yogurt, then garnish each with a teaspoon of cilantro.
