Anything made into soup. It's a way to get a lot of vegetables in, it's hand off cooking, and my 5 year old and husband will both eat it. Almost always have leftovers for lunch the next day. If I want more substance, I add pasta or soba noodles or rice. Two soups I threw together that tasted good:
Veg broth or bone broth + assorted mixed veg (any ok, but onions/garlic are a must). Cook for awhile, then add cod and simmer for the last few mins.
Brown 80/20 ground beef, drain and set aside. Add butter or olive oil, sweat onions, garlic, and whatever else you want - carrots, celery. I also added chopped ripe kimchi, random frozen veg including corn, farro/broccoli/carrot blend, bring to a boil, then simmer. Add fresh chopped baby kale and cubed firm tofu in the last few mins.

So here goes -
1 can of drained chickpeas
1 large boiled and chopped Ube (Okinawa purple yam)
2 teaspoon finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped green chillies (minus the seeds, skip if you do not like heat)
Black salt to taste (or any plain salt if you do not like the egg taste of black salt)
1/2 tsp of paprika or red chilli powder (skip if you do not like heat)
1/2 tsp ground roasted cumin
1/2 tsp of mint or coriander chutney (store bought)
1/2 tsp of tamarind-date chutney (store bought)
4 tablespoon of plain yogurt (non-fat version will work well)
A handful of crushed kerala plantain chips - Ethakka Upperi (any commercial non-sweetened banana chips will work)
Mix it all together and eat. It is addictive.
Oh, and if you want to make your own plantain chips here to store - https://thefamiliarkitchen.com/banana-chips-ethakka-upperi/
How in the hell is this easy and quick? You people are nuts.
Not the PP, but aside from the yam, this recipe involves no cooking. So, it's easy in that sense. But, it does involve lots of ingredients that folks may not have on hand. So, probably only truly easy for people who cook a lot of Indian/Asian food and have those staples in their cabinets. I'm not a big fan of chaat, but my Indian in-laws can pull one together in about 5 minutes.
