Instructions
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat on a Wolf Burner. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and fragrant about 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric, red chili flakes, ground ginger, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in chickpeas and stock.
Bring to a simmer; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in coconut milk and return to a soft simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use a potato masher and crush some of the beans to thicken the soup. Taste and adjust to taste with lime juice, honey (start with 1/2 teaspoon), salt and black pepper.
To serve, divide greens between soup bowls, ladle soup over greens, and garnish with torn mint leaves.
