Yield: 8-10 servings
Ingredients
3 tablespoons canola oil
� cup white onion, diced small
4 cloves garlic, rough chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon garam masala (available in your grocer�s spice section)
1 teaspoon ground dry ginger
2 15-oz can chickpeas, drained, rinsing is optional
1 cup canned crushed tomato
� cup apple juice
1 13.5-can coconut milk
1 quart chicken or vegetable broth*
� cup cilantro, loosely packed
� teaspoon kosher salt
� teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation
In a soup pot add the canola oil and onions. Heat over medium flame until the onions are wilted, but have no color.
Add the garlic, garam masala and ginger. Stir with a wooden spoon and allow to cook 1-2 minutes. Add the chickpeas, crushed tomato, apple juice, coconut milk and broth.
Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes.
Add the cilantro. Using an immersion blender, or carefully transferring batches to a blender or food processor, pur�e the soup until smooth. If needed, transfer back to the soup pot and add in the salt pepper. Stir, and adjust seasonings as desired.
*Add more broth if it seems the soup is too thick. Adjust seasonings.
