Method
In large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat; fry onions, carrots, peppers, cumin, salt and pepper until softened, 5 minutes.
In blender, puree 1 cup (250 mL) of the chickpeas. Add pur? and whole chickpeas, stock and 3 cups (750 mL) water to onion mixture; bring to boil.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add garlic, lemon juice and sesame oil. Add water to make 20 cups (5 L), if necessary. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Divide among five 4-cup/1 L airtight containers. Refrigerate, uncovered, until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.) Reheat before serving.
Garnish: Top each bowl with fresh mint and/or parsley and wedge of lemon to squeeze into soup.
