Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 large cucumber, peeled and diced

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

1/2 cup red onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In your crockpot, add the drained chickpeas, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and minced garlic. These will form the base of your soup.

    Add Liquids: Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring gently to combine the ingredients.

      Season: Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if you're opting for some heat. Stir again to ensure even distribution of the spices throughout the mixture.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The vegetables should become tender and the flavors well-combined.

          Blend: Once cooked, use an immersion blender directly in the crockpot to puree the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend just half, leaving some whole chickpeas and cucumber pieces.

            Finish with Freshness: Stir in the fresh lemon juice and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley.

                Enjoy: Serve warm or chilled on a hot day. This soup also pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a fresh side salad!
