Notes
To make this soup more filling, you can also add a cup of uncooked orzo in step 2.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: So they cook evenly within the soup.
- For thinner soup: Add more vegetable broth or water to your desired consistency. Adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- For creamy chickpea soup: Blend a portion of the chickpeas (and optionally carrots) and broth either in a blender or directly in the soup pot using an immersion blender.
- For more flavor: Bloom the herbs and spices with the sauteing veg until fragrant before adding the ‘wet’ ingredients.
