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.

    Really nice soup. I will be taking this to work for a hearty lunch. I added chicken to this and like others some harissa for a bit of spice. I also used fresh tomatoes because I am not keen on tinned. It gives it a fresher, cleaner taste, very good.

    I really enjoyed this, I'm doing weight watchers and this worked about about 5 points per bowl and it was soooo yummy and quite filling, i had to omit the broad beans as I didn't have any but still really enjoyed it. I have recommended it to all my dieting friends too!

    Mmmmmm! I found it a bit thin so I used passata instead of a can chopped tomatoes and half the veg stock, lovely and creamy. I also put a tbsp of harissa spices to give it a kick. Its great if you are calorie counting too!

    We all loved it! A hearty tasty and well balanced soup. I made a "not too spicy" version for the children, and older ones added some cayenne pepper, that brought out the tastes wonderfully.

    As I am not a lover of cumin, I did a slight variation of this recipe using Smoked Spanish Paprika Hot (Pimenton De La Vera). Also some girdled chorizo topping this is perfect.

    I made it without broad beans, but it still was delicious. And so easy to make - definitely deserves five stars.

    Quite a good dish, but reducing it made it a bit salty. Not sure as whether I reduced it too much, but added some sugar to neutralize it a bit. Other then that, excellent dish :D family loved it!
