Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas
8 cups water
1 (35-oz) can whole tomatoes, drained
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 small celery rib (including leaves), finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 cups vegetable broth (preferably organic) or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Prepare chickpeas:
  • Soak chickpeas in water to cover by 2 inches 8 to 12 hours.
  • Drain chickpeas and rinse well. Transfer to a large saucepan and add 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool chickpeas and drain, reserving cooking liquid. You should have about 2 1/2 cups liquid (if not, add more water).
  • Coarsely purée tomatoes in a food processor.
  • Cook onion and celery in butter in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add turmeric, pepper, and cinnamon and cook, stirring, 3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato purée, 1/3 cup cilantro, chickpeas with reserved liquid, vegetable broth, and lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are tender, about 35 minutes.
  • Stir in pasta and cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in parsley, remaining 1/3 cup cilantro, and salt to taste.

This soup is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out way too salty. I think it's because I used canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas.
