Slow Cooker Ginger Carrot and Chickpea Soup
Course Soup
Cuisine American
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the slow cooker.
Pour in the drained chickpeas and vegetable broth.
Sprinkle the cumin and turmeric over the mixture, then season with salt and black pepper.
Stir everything well to distribute the spices evenly.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the carrots are soft.
Mash a few chickpeas with a fork right in the pot before serving if you want a slightly thicker texture. The ginger stays bright because it goes in at the start, so taste and add a little more at the end only if needed.
