Finishing the carrot and leek soup – 30 minutes

Mix drained chickpeas with a dash of olive oil and a teaspoon of ground cumin seeds and spread these on a baking tray without parchment paper. Roast the chickpeas in the oven, they should be crispy in about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a bit of olive oil in a large pan. Sauté the onion, garlic and ginger for a few minutes and then add the carrots and leek for a few more minutes.

Pour in the vegetable stock along with the star anise and bring to the boil. Once the soup is boiling, turn the heat down and let it simmer until the carrot has softened.

Remove the star anise and blend the soup until smooth, you can use a blender or immersion blender.

Season the soup with tamarind or lime juice, pepper and salt and serve with the pieces of roasted bell pepper and crispy chickpeas. Enjoy!
