A couple of weeks ago I visited Rakor restaurant in downtown Athens which served this delicious pea hummus, and thought I would try to recreate at home.
Roasted tomato and pepper soup with chickpeas
I believe it was about time to start making soups again … this tomato soup resembles more of a warm gazpacho as it includes chickpeas, which make it more of a complete meal (as it has protein) and also more filling.
