Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

  • 8 ounces broccoli cut into large pieces
  • 1 medium onion roughly chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes diced, ½-inch
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups Swiss chard chopped
  • 4 cups spinach
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice divided
  • 2 tbsp dill fresh, finely chopped
  • tsp black pepper ground
  • ½ tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 2 tbsp tahini

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

  • Place the broccoli florets and stems in a large soup pot, along with onion, potato, garlic, and 3 cups of water or vegetable stock.
  • Bring to boiling over high heat; then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until broccoli is very tender.
  • Add the Swiss chard and spinach, then cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Use a blender to puree the soup until smooth. The consistency should be moderately thick. Add a little water if you need to thin it.
  • Stir in 1 cup of chickpeas, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of dill, then season with salt and pepper. Return soup to boiling, then turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the tahini with ¼ cup water until smooth paste forms. Stir the mixture into the soup.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, then garnish with more chickpeas and broccoli florets, if preferred.
  • Serve warm, and enjoy with family and friends!
