Instructions

Step 1

Cook the chickpea with water for 45 minutes, not too soft

Step 2

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Once the pot is hot. Add the onions to the pot. Sauté and stir them occasionally until very soft and totally translucent, about 5-6 minutes. If they are beginning to brown, lower the heat.

Step 3

Add the garlic and lemon zest to the pot and stir. Sauté until the garlic and lemon are super fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ground cumin and celery seed to the pot and stir for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chickpea and their water to the pot, and add carrot, and butternut squash. Give the soup another stirs and place the lid on top.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer. Set the lid on top. Keep simmering until it is tender for your test, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Add the spinach to the pot and stir again. Once the spinach is wilted, add the lemon juice, and stir once more. Check the soup for seasoning and adjust it to your test.
