  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Мethod of preparation

Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric, allowing the spices to toast for about 30 seconds. 3. Add the cooked chickpeas to the pot, stirring well to coat them with the spices and aromatics. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. 4. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. 5. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chickpeas whole for texture, or transfer a portion of the soup to a blender and pulse until desired consistency is achieved. 6. Stir in the lemon zest and juice, then season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. 7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the vibrant flavors!
