Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 (15.5 ounce/439 gram) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 (14.5 ounce/411 gram) can diced tomatoes
- 1 medium bunch curly kale, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Coat the bottom of a large pot with the oil and place it over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the onion. Sweat the onion for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften.
- Stir in the garlic, curry powder and ground cumin. Sauté the mixture for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until it becomes very fragrant.
- Stir in the broth, chickpeas, and diced tomatoes. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Lower the heat and allow the soup to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat. Blend about half of the soup, either using an immersion blender, or by carefully transferring it to a blender, blending, then returning it to the pot.
- Place the pot back over high heat and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat until the soup is at a simmer, then stir in the kale. Let the soup continue simmering until the kale is fully wilted, about 10 mintues.
- Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and serve.
