Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Legumes

  • 1 can (15 oz) low-sodium chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Oils

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Spices

  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, drizzle olive oil and add chopped onions and carrots. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the carrots soften slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add Spices and Garlic: Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 1 minute until the spices are fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Vegetables and Chickpeas: Mix in the diced potatoes and rinsed chickpeas. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly with the spices and oil.
  4. Simmer Soup: Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, ensuring the ingredients are covered by at least a couple of inches. Increase heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  5. Cook Until Tender: Let the soup simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors meld together.
  6. Add Lemon Juice: Just before serving, stir in the juice of one fresh lemon to add a bright, tangy finish to the soup.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender before adding the lemon juice.
  • Use low-sodium broth to better control the saltiness of the soup.
  • Substitute Yukon Gold potatoes with Russet potatoes if desired.
  • Add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for additional flavor and color.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freezes perfectly for up to 2 months.
