Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and carrots, cooking until the onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and chickpeas, stirring to coat with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the ingredients are covered with liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in fresh lemon juice just before serving to brighten the flavors.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

For extra greens, stir in spinach, kale, or Swiss chard during the last few minutes of cooking.

Add cooked chicken, turkey, quinoa, or lentils for added protein.

If you like it spicy, add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or a chopped chili.

Top with sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.

Sweet potatoes can be substituted for Yukon Gold potatoes for a sweeter flavor.

If you don’t have smoked paprika, regular paprika can work, or use liquid smoke for a smoky flavor.

Feel free to add extra veggies like bell peppers, celery, or corn for additional texture and flavor.
