  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder

Directions
  1. Heat some oil in a saucepan and add brown onion. Cook 3-4 minutes until starting to brown. Add garlic and cook a further 2 minutes before adding the chopped celery.
  2. Once celery softens and becomes fragrant, add cumin, paprika and white miso, and stir to combine.
  3. Add chickpeas, stock, tea and bay leaf. Bring to the boil then simmer for around 10-15 minutes.
  4. Next, add the kale, salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.
