Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing one can of chickpeas, including its liquid, into a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, resembling a thick paste, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and just golden.
  3. Add the puréed chickpeas, another can of drained chickpeas, 1 diced potato, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and a pinch of chili flakes. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth, stirring well. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil in about 5 minutes.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. After 25 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. For a thicker consistency, blend in additional chickpeas or potato.
