There’s a reason why I named this recipe Turmeric Soup with Chickpeas and not the other way around! Turmeric really is the star of the show, here. This Turmeric Soup with Chickpeas, Orzo, and Spinach truly highlights one of the most delicious (and healthy!) spices out there. With a gorgeous, sunshiny, bright yellow broth and an earthy, peppery flavor – complimented by adding fresh lemon (or lime) juice – this protein-packed, anti-inflammatory, plant-based soup will keep you warm, cozy, and healthy all winter long.
I love the chickpea, orzo, and spinach combination because it’s so easy with barely any prep (and it’s easy to make vegan/plant-based, if that’s your thing!). And orzo always makes me happy in a way I can’t describe!
But the other thing I love about this Turmeric soup? Because the most important part is the flavorful, Persian-esque, turmeric-based lemony broth, it’s easy to make this your own with a protein of your choice or other grains (like rice, for a gluten-free version), and veggies. Have fun with it and make it your own – you really can’t go wrong here!
