When Life Gives You Lemons

BLOG-0743

Make Lemony Hummus Soup!

BLOG-0748

The recipe came from Angela who got it from Kalyn.

BLOG-0735

I started with a boatload of garbanzos, soaked overnight and simmered for about an hour this morning while I blogged.

BLOG-0705

In the soup, we used four cups along with tahini, lemon, red pepper flakes, garlic, paprika, cumin, broth, salt, pepper. Did I say lemon?!

BLOG-0707

BLOG-0719

It gets all pureed up in the Vita-mix and garnished with lemon, olive oil, paprika.

BLOG-0731

BLOG-0744

On the side, we made some lemon-tahini-dill green beans

BLOG-0712 BLOG-0709 BLOG-0710

Matt made a sauce with dijon mustard (~1 tsp), tahini (~ tbsp), lemon (~1 tbsp) and dill (~1 sprig). I think salt to taste was also involved.

BLOG-0723

The beans were INCREDIBLE!! We enjoyed them more than the main course!

BLOG-0739

Guess what we deemed necessary for soup dipping 2/3 of the way through the meal?

Imagine Cookie Monster crumbs flying!!

BLOG-0751

Great dinner!

BLOG-0725

Yoga was also good today. Lots of long holds of poses that left my muscles almost overworked in spots and not worked in others. I missed music though 🙁 Looks like Wednesdays and Saturdays will become my permanent yoga days when I can go!

I have a Gossip Girl to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The green beans sound great!

    The soup looks like warm hummus! Wow..that’s alot of hummus (my tummy doenst handle chickpeas as well as most other bloggers’ tummies do…lol)

    I saw Angela’s recipe and now yours..and it makes me want to try it. But a smaller quantity.

    “sauce with dijon mustard (~1 tsp), tahini (~ tbsp), lemon (~1 tbsp) and dill (~1 sprig)”– THAT SOUNDS awesome! It looks like tartar sauce or something mayo based in the pic…but isn’t. HOW awesome!

      I’ve never actually kept my tahini in the fridge – just in the pantry where I think I’ve had jars for like a year. I guess I just treat it like any other nut/seed butter.

    I think I would rather have my hummus cold. But those beans look DELICIOUS! I am thinking you baked them at 350-400 for maybe 20min? I will test it out. Have fun with your T.V., I am sure you and your husband deserve some much needed downtime with all your bakery planning.

    I started making my own hummus recently, and I think it’s a great idea — I wouldn’t go back to store-bought ever (except last week when a giant Tribe hummus tub was on super-sale at my grocery store. I couldn’t resist!)
