– 1 tbsp olive oil – 2 cloves garlic, minced – 1/2 small onion, chopped – 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth – 1 cup plain hummus – 1 tbsp lemon juice – 1/2 tsp ground cumin – Salt and pepper to taste – Optional toppings: olive oil, paprika, parsley, chickpeas
In a saucepan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and onion until fragrant. This builds the flavor base of your creamy, savory hummus soup.
Stir in vegetable broth and store-bought or homemade hummus. Whisk until smooth and creamy for a luxurious, velvety texture.
Add lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld while keeping the soup light.
For extra smoothness, use an immersion blender. This step is optional but creates an elegant consistency, perfect for serving guests.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with olive oil, paprika, parsley, or toasted chickpeas. These toppings add both flavor and visual appeal.
