Smoky chickpea soup with herbs and yogurt

Method

• step 1

  Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion, carrot and pepper over a low heat for 5 mins or until softened, but not browned. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds more.

• step 2

  Tip in the tomatoes, then fill the can with water and pour into the pan, too. Add the Knorr Smoked Chilli & Tomato Stock Pot and 500ml more water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins. If you would like a less textured soup, blend the soup with a stick blender until smooth.

• step 3

  Stir in the chickpeas, crushing some of them with a potato masher, then cook for another 10 mins. To serve, ladle into four bowls, swirl through some yogurt and scatter the coriander or mint on top.
