Skillet-Roasted Garlic and Chickpea Soup

4 garlic cloves, unpeeled

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas

1 ¼ cups vegetable broth, plus extra as needed

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 Toast garlic in large saucepan over medium heat, stirring

occasionally, until fragrant and skins are just beginning to

brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove garlic from saucepan and

let cool slightly.

2 Once cool enough to handle, peel garlic and return to

now-empty saucepan; discard skins. Add chickpeas and

their liquid, broth, and oil. Bring to simmer over medium

heat and cook until chickpeas begin to break down, 5 to 7

minutes.

3 Process chickpea mixture in blender until smooth, about

2 minutes, scraping down sides of blender jar as needed.

Return soup to now-empty saucepan and return to brief

simmer over medium heat. Adjust consistency with extra

hot broth as needed. Off heat, stir in parsley and lemon

juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve. (Soup

can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
