Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 1 medium, diced Celery stalk
• 3 cups Cooked chickpeas
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 teaspoons, finely chopped Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream or coconut cream
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 loaf (optional, for serving) Crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the cooked chickpeas, vegetable broth, and chopped fresh rosemary.

Step 4

Season with salt and ground black pepper, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream or coconut cream, and heat gently for 2-3 minutes without boiling.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve warm in bowls, optionally paired with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
