Preparation

Mince the onion and garlic, and dice the carrots and celery.
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the coconut oil. Add the onions, garlic, celery and carrots and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, grate the ginger and put it in a large pot along with all the spices.
Dice the tomatoes and add them to the pot, along with the tomato purée, vegetable broth and brown rice.
Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 45 minutes on low heat until the rice is cooked (if you use white rice, this should only take about 20 minutes).
Add the chickpeas and adjust the seasoning to taste. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
Dice the dates and chop the parsley. Set aside.
Serve the soup in a shallow bowl. Garnish with more diced dates, chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
