That sounds delicious, Lori! Thank you for sharing.

What other recipes do you like that call for chickpeas?

I make this a bit heartier-though it certainly is filling on its own-by adding cooked ham diced to the soup-it makes a complete meal and with wholegrain buns is filling-we take this camping and its easy to heat and eat. Everyone we have served it to not only asks for seconds but the recipe please!

Jo, I agree. Chickpeas were never something I ate growing up, but as an adult I have to say I love them. Every since Jill started adding them to our meals I’ve enjoyed them. Also, it seems like they go well with just about anything. They are very versatile.

I don’t use chickpeas enough in my cooking, despite how much I do like them. This sounds like a perfect way to use them… so delicious! Thanks Jill… stumbled!

Oh! Basil would be better. And parmesan is delicious on top of everything.

We built two raised beds in the backyard this month. I have basil plugs back there & I can’t wait for them to get bushy.

I tried it and I loved it! I see what you mean about the cilantro. It was good but next time I think I might try it with some fresh basil (assuming I can get some to grow!) and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Yum!

Bren, don’t be scared of the little chickpeas. They’re not weird tasting, at least I don’t think so.
The tomatoes in this soup are the dominant flavor. The chickpeas really just blend in. I think of them as the easy source of low fat plant protein that makes the soup super healthy to eat.
