    1 cup dried chickpeas, covered with water and soaked overnight
    2 tbsp olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, halved
    3 bay leaves
    1 medium brown onion, chopped

    Recipe



    Preparation instructions:
    * Place chickpeas in a saucepan, cover generously with water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 to 2 hours until chickpeas are soft and tender.

    * Drain well.

    * Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and bay leaves, cook for 1 minute. Add the onion, carrot and celery, stir to combine and cook for 10 minutes.

    * Drain the chickpeas and add to the vegetables. Add the stock and lemon, bring to a simmer, cook for 1 hour. Remove the lemon pieces and bay leaves.

    * Place a third of the soup mixture in a blender, or mouli, and process until smooth. Return to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer. Season to taste.

    * Add the dill, stir to combine, and serve immediately.

    Note: If there is limited time to soak and cook the dried chickpeas, replace with 2 x 400g canned cooked chickpeas and drain well before using.
