    Winter is here, rainy season is here. Am getting soup recipe requests. I take this opportunity to make soup and have it too.

    As I am not at all a fan of soup, also don't consume the needed veggies, nutrients.

    I am not sure how many soups I will try, but sure this one with beetroot is a random find with the ingredients I had in hand after trying palak chana.

    Hand full of baby spinach and cooked chana were there, so immediately made this soup for lunch.

    The curried chickpeas roasted crisp is the highlight ingredient in this soup. I loved it a lot.

    Notes

    • Instead of pressure cooking, you can cook in open pot as well. Finely chop beetroot or use food processor to grate to save cooking time.
    • Roast chickpeas without burning it. Patience is the key. Also use heavy bottom pan.
    • If no immersion blender, cool down and use mixie to grind.
