ingredients

Hummus Çorbası

  • 400 ml freshly boiled (but not boiling hot) water
  • 5 tablespoons hummus
  • Olive oil, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, for serving
  • Sumac, for serving
  • Pul biber, for serving
  • Paprika, for serving
  • Cumin, for serving

For the Soup

  • Step 1

    Once you’ve poured the hummus out of the blender, add freshly boiled (but not boiling hot) water to the blender jug. Whizz up for a few seconds.

  • Step 2

    Add the hummus you made earlier to a small saucepan (reserving the rest to actually enjoy as a hummus dip).

  • Step 3

    Pour in the contents of the blender and whisk together until fully smooth. It should be of a pouring consistency - if it’s too thick, add a little more water; if it’s too watery, add a little more hummus.

  • Step 4

    Heat up on the stove until it starts to boil, then serve with crunchy olive oil croutons, fresh parsley, sumac, pul biber, paprika and cumin.
