  2. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the carrots, celery, bell peppers, zucchini, and diced potato. Sauté the vegetables for an additional 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and chickpeas. Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Customization: You can add other vegetables like spinach, green beans, or sweet potatoes to make the soup even more nutrient-dense.
  • Protein Variations: If you don’t have chickpeas, you can use other beans such as black beans or kidney beans.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The soup also freezes well for up to 3 months.
  • Spice Adjustments: For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Garnish: Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice just before serving will give the soup an extra burst of flavor.gypsy soup recipe moosewood
