Ingredients
- 1. A spoon of olive oil
- 2. Two teaspoons of cumin seeds
- 3. Half a teaspoon of optional red pepper flakes
- 4. Minced medium onion
- 5. One large carrot, diced after peeling
- 6. Diced celery stalks
- 7. Minced garlic cloves
- 8. Four cups of chicken broth
- 9. One can of chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and lightly mashed (15 ounces)
- 10. Chopped small bunch of kale
- 11. Season with salt and pepper to your liking
- 12. Half a cup of finely chopped fresh parsley
- 13. A tablespoon of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or adjust to taste, if desired (Optional)
Step 1
Begin by warming olive oil in a pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Sprinkle in cumin seeds and red pepper flakes, stirring until they release their aromatic essence, which usually takes around 30 seconds. Next, toss in a mix of onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, cooking and stirring until the onion turns soft and translucent, typically about 5 minutes. Introduce chicken broth, chickpeas, and kale into the pot.
Step 2
Allow the soup to gently bubble away until the kale reaches a delightful tenderness, usually between 10 to 15 minutes. Season with a dash of salt and pepper, then fold in some fresh parsley for a burst of flavor. Once done, remove the pot from the heat and generously sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese for an added touch of richness and depth.
