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.

    wonderful recipe. Tasty and versatile, and the lemon makes it really unusual. I think it needs longer to cook than it says in the recipe to bring out the full flavour, but if you're in a rush it'll still taste great!

    Really, really nice. I used canellini beans instead of broad beans and added the harissa. Could stand a bit more heat next time, so will add some chilli flakes when cooking the onion. There will definitely be a next time. Great filling lunchtime soup recipe.

    ..Could I use peas instead of broad beans, or may be chopped mangetout? It sounds great and I would like to give it a go, but have not broad beans today.

    wow what a souper soup! With autumn on the way this is a great warming meal with good bread etc. I eat homemade soups every day usually from Good Food Recipes and always enjoy how easy and nourishing they are. You can add and take away ingredients and they are still wonderful and personalised too.

    I made it with some chili (from a tube) and without the chorizo and it was very good. I happened to have all the ingredients to hand and wanted soup today so it was serendipitous. A big plus, it's healthy as well as tasty! The two don't always go hand in hand in my experience.

    Really, really liked this! I used half a tin of lentils and half a tin of chickpeas that both needed using up and added a little bit of harissa - don't be tempted to leave out the broad beans, it adds to the different textures. Definitely one to repeat!

    Very tasty and easy to make. Great for colder evenings and I recommend to make more and freeze, as there's nothing better that coming back home to a nice bowl of soup.

    forgot to turn the cooker off and it simmered for over an hour. No problem - turned it into a thick rich soup
