Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup parsnip
1 medium yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
3 cups Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon sumac
4 cups vegetable broth
1 can white beans
1 can chickpeas
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
to taste salt
to taste ground black pepper
for garnish Italian flat leaf parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, warm 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to shimmer, which usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, roughly 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle in the diced parsnip and Yukon Gold potatoes. Stir for about 5 minutes to get them slightly tender and combined with the aromatics.
Carefully pour in the vegetable broth while adding the lemon zest and sumac. Bring the mixture to a roaring boil, letting those fabulous flavors meld together.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Gently fold in the drained white beans and chickpeas. Cook until heated through, around 5 minutes.
Add fresh lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper according to your preference.
Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with additional olive oil, and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
