I’ve been making this Carrot Ginger Soup for years. In fact it was one of the first recipes on my Auntie Treats blog way back when. It really is a timeless winner. K and I enjoyed it pre-kids and now the four us all love it. Because really, there’s not much to not love here.
Sometimes life calls for an easy, no fuss dinner, but something that’s still really satisfying and not necessarily take-out. You know those nights, right? The day goes by way too quickly and suddenly it’s almost five and you have no clue what you’re eating tonight and more importantly, what you’re feeding the fam.

Well enter this Crisp Roasted Chickpea & Tomato Flatbread. The flavors in this literally burst in your mouth. It’s got it all. Subtle garlic creaminess from the hummus. So much freshness from the tomatoes, bell peppers and lemon juice. A bright herb kick from fresh parsley and mint. The best zing from pickled onions.

This is so good. But minimal, adjust as you need, effort.
