===== Directions =====
  - Switch your pressure cooker to the saute funtion and sauté onion in 1 TBSP oil for 3-5 minutes, until edges are golden and brown.
  - Next add garlic and sauté for a minute more to bring out the flavor.
  - Add seasoning (salt, oregano, basil, and (optional) sugar) along with carrots, tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and broth.
  - Set to high pressure for 15 minutes and allow to come to pressure, allowing a natural pressure release.
  - Add your cream cheese and puree using a hand held immersion blender until fabulously smooth and bisque-like. You can also blend the soup, in two batches, in your blender or food processor.
  - Lastly, give the soup a taste and adjust broth/tomato/seasoning to taste, adding any extra of whatever you prefer to get your ideal thickness and flavor. 
  - Add all your roasted chickpeas on top (and a sprinkle of parmesan if you're feeling cheesy) and dive in!
