SOUP CHAIN DAY

With a sale on russet potatoes I decided to make a pot of Smokey Potato Chick Pea soup I'd made last year.   

Here is a list of ingredients, albeit probably last year's prices:

For the step-by-step and ingredient substitutions you can find those HERE to print out.  I did not peel the potatoes, only trimmed off any imperfections as those skins have great nutrients in them.  I used fresh grated ginger but ginger powder is a substitute.

It is spicy and smokey so may not be for everyone, so perhaps start with half Tbsp of smoked paprika and curry then add more if desired.  While I like spicy, think next time I make it will delete the crushed red pepper.

Thank you Robin for starting this Soup Chain and am looking forward to trying new and interesting soups during this cold weather season.
