Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, then fry the onion and celery gently for 10 mins until softened, stirring frequently. Tip in the cumin and fry for another min.
  2. Turn up the heat, then add the stock, tomatoes and chickpeas, plus a good grind of black pepper. Simmer for 8 mins. Throw in broad beans and lemon juice, cook for a further 2 mins. Season to taste, then top with a sprinkling of lemon zest and chopped herbs. Serve with flatbread.

Spicing it up

Spice it up further with a spoonful of harissa paste. Curry lovers can swap the cumin for 1 tsp of garam marsala. Or for a more hearty dish, fry 4 sliced chorizo sausages along with the onions and celery.

    I don't think you can really taste the celery (especially if you add some harissa) but it is just there for texture an extra bit of fruit and veg - you can just try it with carrot or something like that instead I am sure.

    Souper!! This soup is so easy to make. I make a big pot of it and have it for lunch every day. One time I ran out of broad beans so I used organic 4-bean mix instead. Really good too!

    I left out the broad beans too, and think this is yummy. I use loads of soup recipies for work, and always end up with a crowd of people round my desk peering in to see what today's offering is! Kat24k - 400g is the size tin that if you make two fists with your hands, and then put them on top of each other.....sort of that size if you are with me!!

    A lovely soup for a cool day. I added haricots verts, carrots, a pepper and a chili to the veg, a heaped tablespoon of sambal oelek and some creme fraiche in the end. Tasted great!

    Really tasty and unusual soup and smells amazing whilst you are cooking it. I did it with broad beans the first time round as I happened to have some in the freezer. Second time round, no broad beans but plenty of curly kale so that went in instead. Both versions were very good!
