Why I like this recipe: Bean soups are some of my favorite fall dishes, and the ease of this particular soup was too tempting to pass up.

What worked with me: Cumin, chickpeas, and lemon are seen together for a reason—each brings out the best in the other.

Suggested tweaks: Dress the soup up as much as you'd like. A poached egg is delightful, as is a squeeze of extra harissa.
