  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
– 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
– Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating Turmeric Chickpea Soup is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add Spices: Sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Stir well to combine, allowing the spices to toast for about 1 minute.
4. Incorporate Chickpeas: Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the pot. Stir to coat with the spices.
5. Pour in Broth: Carefully pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Add Coconut Milk: Once simmering, stir in the coconut milk, allowing the soup to return to a gentle simmer.
7. Incorporate Spinach: Add the chopped spinach and cook for about 5 minutes, or until wilted.
8. Season to Taste: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
9. Blend for Creaminess (Optional): For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup. Alternatively, transfer a portion to a blender, then return it to the pot.
10. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
