Creamy Hummus Soup

When I first saw this recipe at Better Homes and Gardens, I knew I wanted to try it! My brother-in-law had introduced my husband and I to hummus a few years ago, and we’ve enjoyed it ever since. In case you haven’t heard of it, it’s a thick dip made with a base of chickpeas and usually lots of garlic, yum! After checking out the recipe for hummus soup, I decided to make an “express” version.
