Instructions

Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until soft and translucent, stirring frequently to avoid browning.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, watching closely to prevent burning.

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook together for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to help break down the tomatoes.

Mix in ground cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, oregano, and red pepper flakes, stirring well to coat the vegetables.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

Stir in cooked chickpeas and simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes to heat through and blend flavors.

Before serving, squeeze in fresh lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
