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.

    Tasty, didn't have any broad beans so went for spinach. Might have overdone it on the chilli, but still tastes great. I also had to cook it for a bit longer than it said.

    Picked this recipe because I was in a rush and it seemed quick, so wasn't expecting great things. Was very pleasantly surprised - a good, tasty, hearty soup that left my housemates demanding more! Would definitely recommend this and will be making again

    Wonderful recipe my husband loved it, made it with frozen soya beans as I didn't have any broad beans and I'll try spinach or kale next time. Also made double the recipe and put it in the freezer - brilliant standby.

    Very tasty ideal for a cold day either for lunch or starter. For dinner we just added chicken which was great and so filling especially if on a diet. Try it now you won't regret it.

    I made this but added scallops and prawns and it was delicious. Also added the harissa paste. One thing I forgot to do is peel the broad beans...it would have been perfect otherwise!

    I found this soup on the bland side and too runny so added a fresh chilli and blitzed it in the liquidiser which thickened it up.
