Ingredients
Directions
7 STEPS
1
Place the dried chickpeas in a large pot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain the chickpeas in a strainer.
2
Heat a splash of olive oil in a pressure cooker or a large pot over high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened.
3
Add the drained chickpeas to the pot and pour in 2 liters of water.
4
If using a pressure cooker, cook on high for 20 minutes. If using a stovetop pot, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 hours or until the chickpeas are tender.
5
Stir in the 180 milliliters of olive oil and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ensure the chickpeas are slightly covered with water, adding more if necessary.
6
Simmer the soup uncovered over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
7
Finally, stir in the lemon juice and dried oregano, then serve the soup hot.
