Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, chopped carrots, sliced leek, sliced garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Add all but ¼ cup of the rinsed chickpeas to the pot. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Pour in the vegetable broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
-
Step 4.
While the soup simmers, roughly chop the reserved ¼ cup chickpeas and set aside for garnish.
-
Step 5.
Using an immersion blender directly in the pot, or working in batches with a standard blender, puree the soup until very smooth. Ladle into bowls and top with the reserved chopped chickpeas and optional paprika oil.
