A flavorful and hearty summer meal that has a creamy corn soup as the base and easy gluten-free chickpea dumplings as the core of the meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chickpea Dumplings

  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 cup loosely packed cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or other neutral flavor oil

Sweet Corn Soup

  • 2 large ears of sweet corn (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 small shallots (minced)
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon mild curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt (see note)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the chickpea flour with the cilantro and salt. Pulse until cilantro is minced. Add in the yogurt and continue to pulse, slowly adding in the oil. Run the food processor for 15 to 30 seconds until the batter is well mixed, set aside.
  2. Carefully remove the kernels from the sweet corn. Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Add in the olive oil followed by the minced shallots. Cook shallots for 3 to 4 minutes then add in the sweet corn. Let the sweet corn cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the broth, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the corn is soft.
  3. Transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Pass through a sieve to remove any chunks and add back to the pan. Heat the soup over low.
  4. Wet hands and take roughly 2 tablespoons of the dumpling mixture and roll into a ball (alternatively, use a spoon and spoon the balls into the soup). Place the dumplings in the soup, cover, and cook until the dumplings are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer the dumplings into two bowls. Swirl yogurt into soup, then ladle the soup over dumplings. Serve with a sprinkle of cilantro and sliced fresh vegetables, like red peppers.

Notes

Tips & Tricks: To remove the corn from the cob, I use a large bowl, place the tip of the ear down and carefully shave off the corn kernels by moving the knife down the cob.

Yogurt may have a tendency to separate while heating. Add the yogurt to the heat right before serving.
