Chickpea Tomato-Rice Soup
Rice cooks in a smoky chipotle tomato broth until creamy, finished with crispy roasted chickpeas for texture.
This soup reorganizes all the essential parts of rice and beans into something entirely different. In this version, the rice simmers directly in a spicy tomato broth made smoky by chipotles, and creamy from the starchy rice. While the soup simmers, chickpeas roast until crispy -- ready to sprinkle generously on top for a contrast in texture (and extra protein). As the soup cools, it thickens to a risotto-like texture that when served with a dollop of yogurt stirred in, becomes rich and satisfying, and perfect for a cold winter night at home.
