Critical Success Points

  • Sauté aromatics until soft and golden (Step 2).
  • Deglaze if the tomato paste begins to stick (Step 3).
  • Toast the rice briefly before adding liquid (Step 4).
  • Blend the chickpea puree safely, allowing steam to escape (Step 7).
  • Simmer the soup long enough for rice to become tender (Step 6).

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard or keep a safe distance.
  • When blending hot soup, vent the blender lid to release steam and avoid pressure buildup.
  • Use a stable cutting board and keep fingertips tucked while chopping.
