Instructions

1 In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it
softens and turns golden brown, which should take around 5 minutes.
2 Introduce the minced garlic along with turmeric, cumin, and the chickpeas.
Season with salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring
regularly to enhance the flavors.
3 Utilizing a potato masher or a fork, mash a portion of the chickpeas to break
them down. This will help thicken the soup while retaining some whole chickpeas
for texture.
4 Pour in the broth, adding a little at first to deglaze the pot and lift any
brown bits sticking to the bottom. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5 Once boiling, add the orzo and stir. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer
for approximately 15 minutes until the orzo is tender.
6 Mix in the baby spinach and chopped herbs, stirring until the spinach wilts
down.
7 Turn off the heat and add lemon juice, tasting and adjusting seasoning with more
salt and pepper if desired.
8 Serve the soup with olive oil, red pepper, lemon wedges, and/or Greek yogurt on
the side, as preferred.
