Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery; sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the dried oregano, thyme, and bay leaf, stirring to combine and release the herbs’ aromas.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the chickpeas, reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the bay leaf and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of extra parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra richness, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
