Starter Recipe: Creamy Hummus Dip with Carrot Ginger Soup

Looking for a healthy and flavorful appetizer? This Carrot Ginger Hummus Dip is a delicious twist on the classic Middle Eastern dip. Combining creamy chickpeas, zesty lemon juice, and the warmth of carrot ginger soup, this recipe delivers both comfort and nutrition in every bite.

Ingredients

For the Hummus:

• 15.9 oz canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

• 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional, for a stronger flavor)

• ½ cup carrot ginger soup (add more for a smoother consistency)

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and carrot ginger soup.

2. Blend until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides. If the mixture is too thick, add more soup one tablespoon at a time.

3. When the hummus reaches a creamy consistency, transfer it to a serving bowl.

4. Stir in chopped parsley for a fresh, herbal finish.

5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor.

Serving Tips

• Serve with warm pita bread, fresh vegetable sticks, or crackers.

• Drizzle a touch of olive oil and garnish with extra parsley before serving.

• Pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables or as a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
