Drain 2 cups pre-softened chickpeas and put them in the pot with 5 cups hot water.
Boil the chickpeas over medium heat for 10 minutes so the grains carry the lemony base better.
Add half a teaspoon thyme and cook for 3 minutes until fragrant.
Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cook over low heat for 6 minutes.
Check the salt and ladle into hot bowls, serving without waiting so the lemon flavor does not fade.
💡 Tip: Adding the lemon juice 2 minutes before taking the soup off the heat preserves its bright taste.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Ladle the lemon chickpea soup into hot bowls, leaving the chickpeas and thyme-dotted surface visible.
