Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing one can of chickpeas, including its liquid, into a blender. Blend until smooth for about 30 seconds.
  2. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the blended chickpeas, the second can of drained chickpeas, and the diced potato to the pot. Sprinkle in the paprika, rosemary, thyme, chili flakes, and black pepper. Stir well.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth and stir. Ensure that the potato is evenly distributed.
  5. Cover the pot and increase the heat to medium-high to bring the soup to a boil. This should take 5–7 minutes.
  6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls while hot, drizzling a little olive oil on top for extra richness.
