Builds a simple meal around this very easy soup; just adds cheese and fruit to complete the menu.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/2-inch-thick French bread slices (each about 3 x 5 inches)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
10 ounces fully cooked smoked garlic sausage (such as kielbasa or linguiça), thinly sliced into rounds
1 cup drained canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
2 teaspoons paprika
6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg, beaten to blend

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over low heat. Add bread. Cook until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer bread to paper towels and cool. Cut into 1/2-inch croutons.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same pot over medium heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add broth, sausage, garbanzo beans and paprika. Bring soup to simmer. Mix in parsley and egg; stir constantly to break egg into strands as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Top with croutons.

Tips:

  • Soak the garbanzo beans overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and nutrients. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a crunch. Overcooked vegetables will make your soup mushy.
  • Add the saffron towards the end of cooking. This will help preserve its delicate flavor. If you add it too early, it will lose its flavor and color.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Garbanzo bean soup with saffron is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, spicy or mild, this recipe is a great place to start. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this garbanzo bean soup with saffron a try.
