Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add diced carrot and celery; cook for another 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the chickpeas, vegetable broth, water, oregano, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and let simmer for 25-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Remove the bay leaf and season soup with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a creamier texture, blend half of the soup before serving, or drizzle with a dollop of Greek yogurt for added richness.
