Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 15-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes with green chiles
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 pocketless pitas
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the celery, carrots, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 7 minutes.
  • Add 6 cups water, the chickpeas, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally and slightly mashing the chickpeas with the back of a spoon, until the soup thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, slice the pitas into thin wedges. Toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir the lemon juice into the soup just before serving. Top with cilantro and the pita chips.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it taste good.

The soup was good, but the pita chips were a bit too oily.
