Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Spanish onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 celery ribs, diced
1 turnip, peeled and diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 quart chicken broth
1 3/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
lemon wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large soup pot over high heat. Add onion and salt and sautéuntil limp, about 3 minutes. Add all spices and sauté until they release their fragrance, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and sauté for another minute, until darkened but not burned. (If tomato paste looks too dark too quickly, lower heat.).
  • Add celery, turnip and sweet potato and continue to sauté until celery starts to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Return heat to high (if you lowered it), and add broth to pot. Bring to a simmer, then add chicken. Partially cover pot, lower heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas and cilantro to pot and continue simmering until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Stir in the lemon juice and more salt if desired.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and lemon wedge and serve.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's a great soup to make ahead of time and it reheats well.

This soup is a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time I make it.

I love how easy this soup is to make. It's perfect for a weeknight meal when I don't have a lot of time to cook.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt by half next time I make it.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything special. I probably won't make it again.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe based on what I had on hand and it turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and added some chopped spinach. It was a delicious and healthy meal.

I tried making this soup this weekend and it was a complete disaster. The broth was bland and the vegetables were overcooked. I won't be making this again.

This soup is incredibly flavorful and comforting, with tender chicken, plump chickpeas, and a savory broth. I especially love the addition of vegetables, which adds a nice crunch and freshness to the dish.
