Advice

When making chickpea soup, it is important to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Start by sautéing onions and garlic in a large pot with a bit of olive oil, then add any desired seasonings and herbs. Once the onions are soft, add the chickpeas and some chicken or vegetable broth. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the chickpeas are soft and cooked through. Add any additional vegetables such as carrots, celery, or potatoes, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Finally, season with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Serve hot and enjoy!
