- Debra Klein
roughly chop the onion(s), thinly slice the celery, slice carrots into small circles. Peel garlic cloves and measure spices. Rinse and drain chickpeas; rinse rice until water runs clear.
Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Saute onion, celery, carrot in 2 Tablespoons water or both, adding more as needed so veggies don't stick to bottom of pan.
Add rinsed rice and stir to coat with spices. Then add veggie broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered for 20 minutes. Stir in beans and miso until miso has dissolved. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until rice is chewy, but not mushy.
Puree a cup or two of the soup in a blender and return to the pot. OR, blend directly in the pot using an immersion blender. If soup is too thick, add more water/broth until desired consistency is achieved
