Creating Turmeric Chickpea Soup is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.
3. Add Spices: Sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas to the pot and stir well to coat them with the spices.
5. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
6. Add Coconut Milk and Tomatoes: Stir in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes, then simmer for another 10 minutes.
7. Season: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Blend (Optional): For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to purée a portion of the soup, or transfer a few cups to a blender and return it to the pot.
9. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
