Directions

Prep 15 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Warm the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add the chickpeas, bay leaf, 7 cups of the vegetable broth, and the orzo. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente, about 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. Add the remaining 1 cup broth if you prefer a thinner, brothy soup, and serve.
