Do I drain and rinse the chickpeas or just dump in the whole can?

But I think you should always do what you think it best for you and what your body responds best too.

I’ve done it both ways and would always recommend to use the recipe card instructions. I blended it all in and it was fine, Julie’s original instructions were to do 2 blends, but that was with nuts that take more time.

I hope this helps!

Kathy as I watched you and Cheryl enjoy tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, I wanted to make that! I’ve enjoyed making your tomato soup many times, but I haven’t had a grilled cheese sandwich since I changed my diet 14 years ago. While the soup cooked, I made the cheese. By the time I was ready for it, the cheese was hard enough for me to easily cut two slices for the sandwich. It melted perfectly and tasted just like the grilled cheese I remember. Thank you for telling me about the kappa carrageenan/lactic acid bundle. It arrived today and wow what wonderful recipes you created for a perfect soup and sandwich meal. Thank you.

Directions are different in the post vs the recipe. Do I mix all in blender or wait to add the kappa and tapioca? Thanks! My ingredients are on the way.

This looks like a great recipe, and I will try it, but I am VERY hesitant to use carageenan. It is allowed in the USA as an additive but has been banned in other countries because there are digestive issues, including colon cancer. I at one time delivered product weekly to a plant that produced carageenan. This product may be derived from seaweed but it is very far removed from being a natural product. Like the difference between corn and corn syrup. The process used to produce carageenan is heavily laden with chemical extractors and various distillations. Bit I do plan to try this with some various substitutions.
