- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

- Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Add beans, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes. Add rice and simmer, partially covered, until rice and beans are soft, 30–35 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Top soup with yogurt and pistachios just before serving.
