Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas, or 3 15-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 sprig thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups vegetable broth
Kosher salt
1 bunch broccoli, stems reserved for another use, cut into small florets
Flat-leaf parsley and fresh tarragon leaves (for garnish)

Steps:

  • If using dried chickpeas, place in a medium bowl and add cold water to cover by 2". Let soak overnight in refrigerator. Drain chickpeas.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and thyme sprig; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, 10-15 minutes. Add chickpeas and wine. Bring to a rapid simmer; cook until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chickpeas are very soft, 1 1/2-2 hours for dried chickpeas, or about 30 minutes for canned. Discard thyme sprig.
  • Working in batches, purée chickpea mixture in a blender or with an immersion blender, adding water by 1/2-cupfuls if needed, until smooth. Season with salt. DO AHEAD: Chickpea soup can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
  • Meanwhile, cook broccoli in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water.
  • Reheat soup. Divide soup among bowls and garnish with broccoli and herbs.

I'm not a big fan of chickpeas, but this soup changed my mind. The chickpeas were cooked perfectly and they had a nice bite to them. The soup was also very flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to eat. It's also a great soup to freeze for later. Just thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat it on the stovetop.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients depending on your preferences. I like to add a bit of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice at the end. It really brightens up the soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I usually have a can or two in my pantry, and this soup is a perfect way to use them up. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I added a few extra vegetables to this soup, like zucchini and spinach. It turned out even better than I expected! The extra veggies added a nice crunch and freshness to the soup.
