- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
- Sprinkle the ground turmeric and paprika over the vegetables and stir well to coat them evenly. Allow the spices to cook for about 1 minute to release their flavors.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, work in batches and be cautious of the hot liquid.
- Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Add the cooked chickpeas and chopped kale or spinach, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the soup for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the kale/spinach to wilt.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
- Serve the Turmeric and Paprika Soup hot and enjoy!
