Step by Step guide
Step 1
Soak the chickpeas in cold water for 12 hours.
Step 2
Drain the soaking liquid, rinse the chickpeas with cold water, and place them in a pot with 1.75 liters of boiling water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook covered on low heat for 1 hour (until the chickpeas are completely soft).
Step 3
Prepare the other ingredients for the soup. In a small skillet, toast the coriander and cumin seeds. Grind them in a mortar. In the same skillet, melt the butter, add the ground spices along with the minced garlic and chili peppers. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Add the turmeric and warm it slightly.
Step 4
Pour the broth in which the chickpeas were cooked into a container (it will be needed later). Place the chickpeas with a small amount of broth into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the grated lemon zest, cilantro stems, the contents of the skillet, and a little broth. Mix everything well. Transfer the puree from the blender to the pot and add the remaining broth. Bring to a gentle boil, stir. Add salt, pepper, and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Before serving, reheat the soup on low heat without bringing it to a boil.
Step 6
Add half of the sour cream and lemon juice.
Step 7
Before serving, sprinkle with crushed chili pepper and cilantro leaves.
