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 Fats

  • 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 sauté the chopped onions and carrots until the onions become translucent, which will take about 5-7 minutes. This softens the vegetables and releases their flavors.
  2. Add Garlic and Spices: Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to the pot and cook for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes fragrant, allowing the spices to bloom.
  3. Add Potatoes and Chickpeas: Stir in the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and rinsed chickpeas, ensuring they are well coated with the aromatic spice mixture.
  4. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth to cover the ingredients by about two inches. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat 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 have melded together.
  6. Finish with Lemon Juice: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice just before serving to brighten and balance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium broth and chickpeas to control salt content and keep the soup healthy.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, you can partially blend the soup before adding the lemon juice.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
  • This soup stores well and tastes even better the next day.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
