Quick and Delicious Chickpea Soup in 20 Minutes (Page 2 ) | March 7, 2025

1. Sauté the Aromatics
   • Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
   • Stir in the garlic, carrot, and celery (if using) and cook for another 2 minutes.
2. Build the Base
   • Add the chopped tomato (or canned tomatoes) to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
   • Stir in the cumin and smoked paprika for a burst of flavor.
3. Add Chickpeas and Broth
   • Toss in the drained chickpeas and pour in the vegetable broth.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
4. Optional Greens
   • If you’re adding spinach or kale, stir it in during the last 2 minutes of cooking. The heat will wilt the greens perfectly.
5. Season and Serve
   • Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.
   • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro for a fresh touch.
