Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • Fresh dill, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the drained chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice.
  5. For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend about one-third of the soup directly in the pot, or carefully transfer one-third of the soup to a regular blender and return it to the pot.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with fresh chopped dill before serving.

Notes

  • For an even brighter flavor, add the lemon juice right before serving.
  • If you want to add greens, stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of simmering until wilted.
  • This soup tastes better the next day, making it excellent for meal prep.
