  • 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 2 Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 3 Place eggplant, garlic cloves, chickpeas, tomatoes and onion into a large bowl. Coat with olive oil, cumin, nutmeg and salt. Mix thoroughly so that the vegetables are covered.

  • 7 If using an immersion hand blender, add 1/4 cup of milk and blend. Add milk 1 tbsp at a time, until the soup reaches the desired consistency. If using a regular blender, place the vegetables in the blender, doing it in batches if necessary. Add 1/4 cup of milk, slowly adding milk 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached. Remember to cover the hole on the blender with a towel and not the cap in order to let steam escape and prevent the soup from exploding.
